‘Not My Thing’: The Batman’s John Turturro Explains The Real Reason He Didn’t Return For The Penguin

It’s important to note that we never actually see Strong’s younger Carmine Falcone ever actually strangle these women onscreen during The Penguin, so Turturro wouldn’t have needed to worry about acting out such scenes.

New episodes of The Penguin air Sundays at 9 pm ET on HBO and are released on Max shortly thereafter.

Additionally, the episode “Cent’Anni” included flashbacks featuring Carmine Falcone, only rather than being reprised by John Turturro, Mark Strong played the younger version of the character.
