What role would Heath Ledger be offered in the MCU if he were alive today ?

[InfinityWar]

I think Marvel Studios would be interested in Ledger for sure.... But which role you guys think they would offer him ?

I think he would have done a good DareDevil in a cinematic film instead of a NetFlix series...

Welcome to the forums buddy!

At nearing 40, I'd expect Ledger to take a slightly supporting role. Something like Mar-Vell in Captain Marvel or Red Guardian in a Black Widow film could have been really interesting. Of course, we haven't seen ANY other TDK actors in the MCU, so I'm not 100% sure that Marvel Studios would be more interested in Ledger than they are now in Oldman or Neeson. I suspect the TDK crew are those actors we keep hearing about that find the MCU lacking in depth and endemic of the unwieldly blockbuster trends.

Definitely not a villain coz that would lead to inevitable and almost impossible to repeat comparisons to The Joker. I would have liked to see him as Norman Osbourne but for the Joker issue. I really dunno about all the lore but will he work as Mr. FAntastic?

Not entirely true.

As for what roles Ledger could have played were he still alive, either Mar-Vell or Adam Warlock would have fit.

Definitely Adam Warlock, he would have been awesome in that role.

 

[InfinityWar]

Oh snap - I forgot about Adam Warlock - that WOULD have been Ledger !!!!! Awesome. And Adam Warlock is sci fi galaxy cosmo Marvel stuff, which is far enough away from Joker down to earth reality film for Marvel to consider him.

I wonder if Heath would accept other CBM roles after the Joker at all...

I think so....According to Ledger family, he had the most fun playing the Joker than any other movie. Plus MONEY.
