Bill Skarsgård, the guy who plays Pennywise in the new It movies, would’ve been solid too. I was rooting for him.
I'm not against the casting, I haven't even seen the movie but I know he's just a glorified extra in it, still people have been wanting to see Dafoe in the role for ages now and it sucks he might pass without ever playing it, an older and more seasoned Joker going up against Battinson in his 3rd or 4th year would have been an interesting take.
After their Black Dynamite figure, with rooted afro.
Tell me about it. The man's perfect for it and he'll die before we get it.
Oh, Skarsgard would've been a perfect, more "classic" Joker. Bright colours, jokes, the whole shebang.

Reeves took this from us... Honestly, I want a DaFoe dolly, and I'm unlikely to buy a Goblin, so that would've been my last chance to get him. But apparently he wants to play a Joker in Phoenix's Joker 2, so who knows.

As for Keoghan, he's not a bad actor, but... At the very least I think it's a lock that they'll give him the rejected Ledger look:
It could be cool, I guess. For me, my interest in this trilogy comes mostly from Pattinson and the general Y2K Fincher look. If they keep that in the sequels, and go with a Trent Reznor Joker, I could be intrigued. But I think the world's ready for a more flashy Joker, and this won't be that. The scene in The Batman was downright awful though, and I don't say that lightly.
On the other hand, I am kind of rooting for him as an actor. He's had a pretty rough upbringing (alcoholic heroin parents, 13 different foster homes, the works), so him finding success is a bright spot. And as with most people who make it in the industry and aren't super models, he puts in the work. But I can't see him as the Joker, as his face is too goofy for the lanky, creepy looking Joker. You can't go from Ledger, to Leto and then to Pheonix, until you end up with him.
I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at the end of the day. I'd bring up Ledger's casting, but honestly I never much had trouble with it. I saw him as a talented actor with range and a great face, so the whole "lmao, they got the gay cowboy" thing never got to me. For my money, he's just going to look too short next to Pattinson, who's a legit 6'0". Ledger & Bale were nicely paired, come to think of it.
Too bad game of throne went to ****. Wish they do breaking bad instead
Saul Goodman with a rooted comb over would be hilarious.
It could work. Hell, pull a Two/Three Jokers thing even and bring in a "proper" Joker later, but an Older Joker/Younger Batman dynamic would be interesting.
The man deserves his own Joker/Batman movie, hell do something akin to Batman Beyond and have an older Batman and Joker square off, the possibility of Dafoe palying the role in Reeves's verse was what interested me the most about this new franchise, sigh...
Yeah, that bit was in his breakdown of the scene. Apparently it's going to be a genetic defect that makes him look he's smilling all the time, and that affects his life and yadda yadda yadda. I get why they try to add more than "lmao, loser fell down a vat and went cuh-rayzee" but at some point it's too much. Ledger's Joker wasn't even a crazy guy or some freak. He was an Ex-Operator who got disfigured and got a grudge towards the system. He was methodical despite his pretenses. He was Anarchy mixed with Joker rather than a straight adaptation. And that worked. Trying to turn the Joker into a statement about mental illnesses, yet still wanting to do a superhero movie, feels counterproductive to me. We got that with Phoenix, why not try something else this time around?
If they do Terminator I will be very interested indeed.
I would LOVE a proper saul figure
Same here. I feel like it’s 2013 on the forum again.
It'll open for preorder on Monday at 10AM Hong Kong Time (GMT +8).
Grey jacket. Why do the 1:6 figures always get that wrong? Their 1:4 has the correct color which makes it more irritating.
