While fans were hoping that Bill Skarsgård would be a great Bruce Wayne or Scarecrow, many fans believe that he can be the perfect actor to play Joker in the new DCU, as the actor fits the criteria of the smiling psychopath.
Bill Skarsgård Could be The Perfect Joker in James Gunn’s DCU
In the vast world of DCU, the Joker remains one of the most flexible and chaotic characters that has been reinvented and reimagined by the actors it has been played by, and some of the most iconic portrayals of the character were by Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix.
However, many fans believe that the Castle Rock actor would be the perfect Joker because he knows how to play terrifying characters, and those who think otherwise should see him in the attire of Pennywise giving the character an odd look, which makes the viewers quite uncomfortable.
Moreover, the actor tends to add some minor details to his characters that are not pre-planned, and one of the instances would be changing the direction of his eyes and drooling which made Bill Skarsgård’s character a nightmare for some. But his impressive dedication to playing his characters flawlessly would make him the greatest Joker, even surpassing Ledger, as Bill Skarsgård could be the darkest version of the Joker in cinematic history.
