Colin Farrell looked unrecognisable as he was seen for the first time on the set of the HBO Max limited series The Penguin on Monday.
The Oscar-nominated actor was seen with prosthetics on his face and dressed in full costume on the New York set.
Colin, 46, is reprising his role as The Penguin for the new spin-off after first starring in the 2022 action film with Robert Pattison.
The prosthetics made the actor looked significantly heavier with facial scars and a receding hairline. He was dressed in a purple blazer with a white shirt as he took on The Penguin's infamous look.
Filming of the new series is expected to continue through mid-2023 while The Penguin will be executive produced by Matt Reeves who directed Robert Pattison's stint as The Batman.
Earlier this year, Colin admitted to Variety that he had no idea he would be asked to reprise the role in a stand-alone series about The Penguin while shooting the original Batman movie.
He said: "The only thing I had an idea was that I wasn't nearly getting to explore the character as much as I wanted to.
"There was all this extraordinary work done by [makeup and prosthetics artists] Mike Marino and Mike Fontaine and his team, and I just thought it was the tip of the iceberg, pardon the pun, that we were getting to do the six or seven scenes that we did in the film. I was grateful for them, but I wanted more."
Meanwhile, Oscar-nominee Colin appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden along with his Banshees of Inisherin co-star Brendan Gleeson.
Colin is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role at this year's Academy Awards.
Dublin-native Colin was asked about his favourite place in Ireland and revealed his love for fishing port Castletownbere in West Cork.
"There's a town, and at one stage was the second biggest fish port in Europe, and it's called Castletownbere," he began. " It's in a part of Ireland, down in the southwest, called the Beara Peninsula. It's incredibly rugged, and can almost feel hostile, but not fully. The people are really extraordinary, and they're tough, but they are fundamentally so, so decent."
"But the landscape is beautiful, of course, and it's right on the lip of the Atlantic there," he added.
"It's also where I did my first professional job when I was 20 or 21 and I've been back there since, I've taken my kids there so that place holds a special place in my heart."
The actor first went to Cork in 2008 where he filmed Irish director Neil Jordan's Ondine.
