The Joker Thread - Part 1

[Black Narcissus]

I also think Dan Stevens would be a great Joker, but after Nicholson, Ledger and Phoenix the only way I can see WB considering him is if he gets an Oscar nomination in the next 5 or so years. Which, granted, is not impossible.

Nope. I don't belive at all that he needs an oscar nom to be considered. It will come down to talent and what Matt Reeves prefers.

So...

 

[-JKR-]

Dan Stevens can play ANYthing.

 

[Whatupman]

Yeah, Dan Stevens is amazing.

 

[Schlosser85]

Being an Oscar nominee shouldn't become a prerequisite to playing The Joker, nor should it be for any role.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Nope. I don't belive at all that he needs an oscar nom to be considered. It will come down to talent and what Matt Reeves prefers.

So...

I don't think it matters what Reeves prefers, it matters what the studio prefers. After Phoenix, I think there's no way the Joker isn't played by an A lister, so your Dan Stevens and Caleb Landry Jones need not apply.

[Eddie Dean]

Going by who’s nominated this year, Joker should be played by either Al Pacino or Joe Pesci.

Dan Stevens for Two-Face over Joker.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Nah, Two-Face is too boring, too straight edge. Let Dan have some fun.

I'd honestly be down for this. It could be a very interesting take

Into it.

 

[Invader Joker]

Whoever plays the Joker is, I hope they are permawhite too this time. Red Hood and ACE chemicals and everything.

I’m really ready for a chemically scarred Joker to make a comeback.

 

[Boom]

Just curious what they would do with his hair if they did cast a black Joker.

[Rorschach2012]

Love that Joker

Just make it green

He had the chance to quote this and he didn’t take it.
Some joker

Super down for this. Driver as well, but he could also be nice as Scarecrow.

 

[Jansom]

Evan Peters would be a Great Joker if Reeves goes for a Full Noir and/or atemporal approach. The Guy has the charisma and talent to fully embrace it, and do his own stuff with him.

Just imagine a Joker with this Style:

 

[Schlosser85]

I have zero interest in Lakeith Stanfield as The Joker, and I don't think making The Joker black would be a great look, socially/politically speaking.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Get out

Explain

I mean, The Joker is this dude that fell into a Chemical vat that turned his skin into permanent snow-white. Him being White, black, Chinese or whatever doesn't really care as far as they remember that tho.
