Jack Bannon (Alfred Pennyworth) and Ben Aldridge (Thomas Wayne) came to discuss their HBO Max hit, Pennyworth: The Origin of Batmans Butler, which is currently in its third season. Bannon and Aldridge discuss how far their characters have come since season one, that crazy season two finale, and what fans can expect going into season three. Bannon discusses how, initially, it was a daunting task to take on these iconic roles, but over time they were able to settle in and make them their own. Meanwhile, Aldridge said when we first met Thomas, who was working for the CIA, he seemed lost and unable to tell the difference between right and wrong. However, now that he has a family and has been given more responsibility, things have shifted, causing his character to try to be on the straight and narrow. Bannon and Aldridge give us some sneak peeks at what it was like filming that crazy season two finale and what fans can expect for this latest season.
