Bill Skarsgård thinks he could be your new Batman or Joker

Fans love fancasting, and they especially love doing it with them Batman. While Robert Pattinson still wears the cowl for Matt Reeves’ recently delayed People are eagerly waiting to see who will play the Dark Knight in the upcoming crime saga Brave and courageous. If Bill Skarsgård had his way, he would be more than willing to play either Batman or Joker.

During a recent appearance at the Happy, sad, confused Podcast, the new one Nosferatu expressed interest in playing Batman (or at least Bruce Wayne) for the new DCU has none still. Braves The status is currently in flux after director Andy Muschietti recently hinted that it had been postponed. While Skarsgård knows as much about this film as anyone who isn’t Muschietti or James Gunn – well, “not very” – he is more than open to working with the director again, having worked together on it before The It series.

Likewise, Skarsgård believes he has a “really cool Joker” in him and thinks it would be “pretty sick” to play the Clown Prince. This character’s place in the DCU is a little more unclear at the moment, as he hasn’t received a shoutout Creature Commands and the next big piece from Bat-Media is 2026 Clayface Film. But typecasting be damned, if anyone knows how to play a well-dressed murder clown, it’s this actor.

Or maybe he can be Batman And Joker? Skarsgård has done some work interesting Genre work of the last few years and even when these films weren’t quite good, he was pretty good at it. That would be a challenge, but an interesting one, and perhaps he has what it takes to create that strange swing. It’s been a minute since an actor played a dual role in a movie, but if sinner it can, DC too.
