Cristin Milioti would 'love to revisit' her 'Penguin' character: 'It doesn't feel finished'

Yahoo7 days ago
Cristin Milioti received an Emmy nomination for her work on The Penguin.
The actress said that she would "love to revisit" her character, Sofia Gigante, in the future.
Milioti also said that the series "doesn't feel finished" in a conversation with EW's The Awardist.Cristin Milioti isn't ready to say goodbye to The Penguin.
The Palm Springs star discussed her reaction to her Emmy nomination for Best Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for the DC crime series during a conversation with Entertainment Weekly's The Awardist podcast on Tuesday, and said that she hopes to eventually return to her character, Sofia Gigante.
"It feels unfinished to me for sure," Milioti told EW. "Oh my God. I mean, I would love to revisit her, especially because of where we last see her. So to me, it doesn't feel finished, but I don't know. We'll see."
Milioti clarified that conversations to bring The Penguin (and her character) back do not include her "at this moment," but she remains enthusiastic about playing Sofia again. "That's a question for people who are above my pay grade," she said. "But yeah, I know that I would love to anyway."
A follow-up to Matt Reeves' 2022 movie The Batman focusing on Colin Farrell's conniving Oswald Cobb, The Penguin landed 24 Emmy nominations on Thursday morning, making it the second-most-nommed show of the year (behind Severance, which nabbed 27 nominations). The show's other nominees include Farrell, Deirdre O'Connell (in Supporting Actress for a Limited Series or Movie), writer Lauren LeFranc, and directors Jennifer Getzinger and Helen Shaver.
"It's a very fabulous day," Milioti told EW. "I'm so thrilled for our show. I'm so thrilled for my fellow cast. I'm so thrilled for our crew to be recognized at this level with 24 nominations. It's just really overwhelming."
Milioti acknowledged that although playing a traumatized, murderous character led her to "some dark places" in her performance "both emotionally and physically," she loved the process of playing Sofia nonetheless.
"I really mean this when I say it: It was also a joy to get to explore those things because I had been wishing for a role like this and searching for a role like this for a while," the actress explained. "I knew when this role came to me, how special it was, and I really connected with it. I connect with Lauren's writing and her brain so deeply. And so it was a pleasure to go to those places because I believe in this show and I believe in this character. So it was taxing, but in a good way."Milioti also said that awards shows tend to make her "very sentimental" because they facilitate reunions between cast and crew members who have moved on to other projects. "My favorite part of them is getting to be reunited with everyone from The Penguin, 'cause we shot it a long time ago, and our characters also are often separated, so we don't really get to hang that much," she said. "And that's been really, really lovely. And I really, deeply hope we get to revisit this in some way. And this won't be a sort of final celebratory moment, but we don't know."

Halle Berry stuns with swimsuit photos while on desert vacation

Halle Berry is enjoying some fun in the sun. The 58-year-old "Monster's Ball" actress posted a series of swimsuit photos from her desert oasis while on vacation in Joshua Tree, Calif. The photos feature Berry in a black and white one-piece swimsuit by Monday Swimwear, with a cutout on the lower back. "Desert days 🌵 windows down, music up, nowhere to be but here," she captioned the post. In a few of the photos, Berry can be seen standing outside in front of a large glass window as she smiled at the camera, and others showed her giving the camera playful sultry looks as she played around with poses incorporating her large black sunhat. Most of the photos were taken from the waist up, but the actress also included two full-body selfies, which not only showed off her toned body, but also the stunning rocky landscape surrounding her. Fans in the comments section were quick to comment with heart and fire emojis, while others commented on her beauty. "Summer looks amazing on you queen @halleberry cheers!" one fan wrote, while another added, "Always stunning!" A third follower chimed in with, "Most beautiful woman in the world 😍." "Desert days 🌵 windows down, music up, nowhere to be but here." This isn't the first time Berry has showcased her toned body on Instagram. In honor of the 20th anniversary of her iconic movie, "Catwoman," last year, the actress posted topless photos of herself on Instagram, in which she is holding her two kittens in strategic positions to cover her chest while wearing a black mask to pay homage to the character. "And STILL... meow! It's been 20 years today since I had the honor of bringing this iconic character to life," Berry captioned the post. "She will always be close to my heart and I will forever be Patience Phillips aka CATWOMAN!" The actress first broke out onto the scene following her role in the 1992 movie, "Boomerang," which led to an Emmy win in 2000 for "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge," and an Academy Award win for "Monster's Ball," in 2002. In addition to "Catwoman," Berry has starred in a number of action movies, including "Die Another Day," the "X-Men" trilogy, "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum," "The Union" and many others. In August 2024, Berry said in a Netflix video on Instagram, she has been injured many times while making these films. "I've been knocked out three times, got an arm broken, broke ribs twice… two ribs one time, three ribs another time… broke a tail bone, broke two toes and a finger. This finger," she said as she held up her middle finger.

Trump's Latest Distraction Attempt Inspires New Levels Of Social Media Cringe

The social media account for the White House was criticized for cringeworthy content on Tuesday after it posted a painting of President Donald Trump surrounded by American flags and bald eagles. The post was captioned, 'They came after the wrong man,' and the words on the painting read, 'I was the hunted — NOW I'M THE HUNTER.' Take a look below. They came after the wrong man. — The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 22, 2025 However, if the White House social media department expected people to bow down and pledge fealty to their fearless leader suddenly, they were sorely mistaken. Instead, the general response tended to be, as mentioned above, cringe. Lots of cringe. Cultish and cringe-inducing. Also, insane. — Christina Hoff Sommers (@CHSommers) July 22, 2025 The most cringe account on this platform — Felix Koutchinski (@Koutchinski) July 22, 2025 How much more cringe can this account get? This is so pathetically ridiculous. — Camille MacKenzie (@CamRMacKenzie) July 22, 2025 But where some people saw cringe, others just saw a bad action movie sequel. Trump II: Out for Vengeance — Ramesh Ponnuru (@RameshPonnuru) July 22, 2025 Trump is telling us he's the new Hunter Biden — emily (@emnode) July 22, 2025 Many people online assumed the post was the president's latest attempt to distract MAGA followers enough so they stop asking pesky questions about those unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files.
