Could Bill Skarsgård Actually Play The Joker In The DC Universe
: Rumored Casting of Skarsgård Brothers for Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy
Time will reveal whether Skarsgård will secure the role of Lex or any other character in Superman: Legacy. However, it does raise the question of whether he has the potential to portray Joker in Gunn's DC Universe. Considering that DC Studios is currently working on Batman: The Brave and The Bold, it seems unlikely that Bruce Wayne's new film series would not feature Joker at some point. Even if he does not appear in the first film, it is inevitable that Joker will eventually make his way into the new DC Universe.
Even prior to being considered a frontrunner for the role of Superman in the film "Legacy," Skarsgård has received numerous suggestions for being an ideal choice to portray the Joker. His portrayal of Pennywise, the notorious bloodthirsty clown in the "It" movies, has demonstrated his potential to bring the Joker character to life remarkably. Additionally, it wouldn't be surprising if Skarsgård declined a role like the Joker, considering the similarities between the Clown Prince of Crime and Pennywise.
Whether he is cast as the Joker or Lex, having a prominent figure like Bill Skarsgård in the DC Universe would be a significant victory for DC Studios. Skarsgård's impressive body of work has made him a highly sought-after talent in Hollywood, and his fanbase would readily support him if he were to join the DC Universe. However, only time will tell if the actor ultimately secures a role within the DC Universe or not.
