Willem Dafoe has heard fans crying out for him to be cast as the Joker, and even has an idea for a sequel to Joaquin Phoenix's eponymous film.
None of the fan-casting that has swirled around the internet for various superhero projects might be as good as wanting Willem Dafoe as The Joker, some version of Batman's greatest enemy. As it turns out, the star has heard the people’s clamor for him, and even has an excellent idea for a sequel to Todd Phillips’ Joker, which starred Joaquin Phoenix as the murderous clown.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY “There is something interesting about, like, if there was a Joker imposter. So it would be possible to have not dueling Jokers but someone that says to be the Joker that isn't the Joker. And that kind of opens up the possibility of an interesting story, particularly if you had Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, and then you had someone who was either imitating or riffing off what he did. I fantasized about that.
While Dafoe playing some version of the Joker remains nothing but a dream, the star recently came back to superhero cinema in Spider-Man: No Way Home, returning to Marvel as the Green Goblin, a fan-favorite character made famous by Sam Raimi’s 2002’s Spider-Man. With love for Dafoe reignited in the hearts of fans, there was never a better time for DC to reach out to the star and give him a purple suit and a red smile. So, please, Warner Bros.
