John Turturro has declined to reprise his role as Carmine Falcone in the upcoming Max series 'The Penguin.'

In the show, there was a lot of violence towards women, and that’s not my thing.' The series is a spinoff of 'The Batman,' and Turturro's decision has been met with respect from the show's creators. Showrunner Lauren LeFranc expressed understanding and support for Turturro's choice. The announcement was made on October 23, 2024, via Variety.
