Milioti discusses her head-turning role as Sofia Falcone in HBO's 'The Penguin.' By James Hibberd Writer-at-Large For Milioti (How I Met Your Mother, Black Mirror), the character represents a longtime goal achieved: Landing a major part in a superhero project.

The Penguin, a spin-off of Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022), is as much a show about the titular character (played by Colin Farrell) as it is about Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), the daughter of deceased mob boss Carmine Falcone.

Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone is the standout villain of Max’s The Penguin. But she started in Batman comics as a mafia enforcer and serial killer the Hangman.

Revealed to be an addict in the episode’s opening news reports, Alberto is poised to take his dad’s gig, but as he chats one-on-one with Oz, their dynamic takes several twists and turns. Initially, Oz covers up his actions, inviting Alberto to have a drink and sit, reminiscing about Carmine and talking about the future.
