ThoughThe Penguinfollowed Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb/The Penguin, Cristin Milioti stole the show as Sofia Falcone.Wrongfully sent to Arkham asylum by her father, mob boss Carmine Falcone, she is out for power and revenge, and Oz is a major obstacle on her way to dominating Gotham’s criminal underworld. WhileThe Penguinis arguably Oz’s show, audiences were captivated by Sofia and her tragic life story, which ended with her back in Arkham Asylum.
Naturally, that brings the question:What’s next for Sofia?Recently, Milioti spoke withIndieWireabout her character’s future. She explained that “it just seemed like there are infinite possibilities of where she could go.” Milioti elaborates: “Obviously I would want to see her get out of Arkham. That’s like number one. I don’t want her in there. So I want to see her get out there, and then exact revenge.”
As for how Sofia would evolve from this experience, Milioti stated:“Maybe now she would be even more of a loose cannon,because before it was pretty focused on him and gaining power, but depending on what happens to her in there, it could be an even larger target.” The actress said she “would love to explore"that more vengeful side of Sofia, whichThe Penguinseason 1 already established.
What Cristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone Comments Mean
Milioti’s comments present an interesting opportunity:Sofia going on another revenge bender.The Penguin’sappeal largely hinges on morally gray characters. After all of the trauma she’s suffered, Sofia could go full supervillain and come after Oz for recommitting her.

Our Take onCristin Milioti’s Sofia Falcone Comments
While it’s uncertain whetherThe Penguinwill come back for another season, its storyline could feed intoThe Batman Part II.As a result, audiences probably have not seen the last of Sofia. Milioti noted how the series left her in an interesting place, where she is reset to where she began right as she’s on the cusp of reaching her goals, making her vendetta against Oz more personal. Regardless of whether she shows up inThe Penguinor another DC project, Sofia will be out for blood.
