sorry jared leto but you’re not the only
Joker in Gotham anymore
all of that chit chats gonna getcha oh
my god
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actors that could play the new Joker
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
taking a look at actors that should be
considered to play the Clown Prince of
Crime in the standalone origin movie
reportedly being directed by Todd
Phillips and produced by Martin Scorsese
somebody tell me what kind of world we
live in where a man dressed as a bat
it’s all of I press number 10 will
Poulter rising to prominence in 2013’s
we’re the Millers Poulter proved that he
could certainly make an audience laugh
which is an essential trait for the
Joker get it off me with some of his
subsequent roles Poulter also showcased
a genuinely intimidating on-screen
presence he played an unhinged young man
struggling to maintain control in The
Maze Runner and chilled viewers to the
core as a racist police officer in
Detroit the fact that Poulter is only in
his early 20s would make the Joker’s
heinous actions even more shocking
calling Harvey Miguel Robinson and other
young serial killers to mind the truth
be told
Poulter’s eyebrows alone are enough to
send a shiver up anyone’s spine number
nine what Keith Stanfield yes of course
it is in the past Caucasian actors have
traditionally portrayed the man who
laughs but much like the idea of address
Elba as James Bond or Donald Glover as
spider-man however Luke Heath stanfield
as the Joker has a nice ring to it
think about your wars before you speak
hey newbie on the small screen this
African American rapper has turned in
consistently hilarious work as darius in
atlanta he shined on the silver screen
with dramatic roles in short term 12
Straight Outta Compton and Crown Heights
Stanfield even asked Martin Scorsese if
he could play the Joker on Twitter given
his impressive acting range but
confident that he could create something
utterly unique
while still staying true to the
character we know and love
number eight bill skarsgård well
Poulter was originally set to star as
penny wise in 2017 it but the role
ultimately went to Bill skarsgård since
this Swedish actor has already earned
rave reviews for playing one demented
clown he would be a natural choice to
play the Joker and now you get to be a
clown who eats children to an extent
scars guards portrayal of penny wise
parallels the late Heath Ledger’s
oscar-winning turn as the Joker in the
Dark Knight both were tasked with
playing some of the most celebrated
villains in pop culture
yet each actor managed to deliver a
performance that was not only
frightening but fresh too on top of that
skarsgård has proven his worth in other
creepy projects like Hemlock Grove
number seven
Paul day know this adaptable actor has
played a wide range of characters in
tune with the Joker’s colorful
personality Dino gave an over-the-top
dual performance as twin brothers Eli
and Paul Sunday and there will be blood
as Brian Wilson and love and mercy he
authenticated young artists suffering
from bipolar disorder in prisoners he
kept the audience guessing as a mentally
handicapped man that may be responsible
for a kidnapping Dino is also no
stranger to comedy having starred in
Little Miss Sunshine and Ruby sparks
above all else Dino knows how to play a
character that’s either crazy going
crazy or thinks he’s going crazy just
watch his bizarre work and Swiss Army
man if you need more proof we’re gonna
see number six Tom Hiddleston Tom
Hiddleston has solidified his place in
comic book movie history through his
performance as Loki in the MCU
mother fears he may never awaken again
but as far as villains go Loki couldn’t
be further away from the Joker in some
respects one literally has the power of
a god while the other has no powers
whatsoever at the same time the two also
have a fair deal in common both are
diabolical tricksters that are always a
step ahead of their enemies sinisterly
smiling with glee as they wreak havoc
your heroes are scattered your floating
fortress falls from the sky where is my
disadvantage Hiddleston could not only
bring out these qualities as the Joker
but can also incorporate a certain
degree of class and style that’s some
grittier interpretations of the
character lacked blood on a stick number
5 Caleb Landry Jones my strength doesn’t
matter right I’m talking about this it’s
a strategic game like chess he might not
be a household name but this actor and
musician has numerous credentials that
would make him a qualified joker for
starters he’s already dipped his toes
into the superhero genre playing Ben Chi
in x-men first class
as one of the main antagonists and get
out
Jones shifted between hauntingly
uncomfortable and flat-out psychotic
demonstrating just how menacing he could
be Jones continued his creepy streak as
a man decipher its husband and twin
peaks’ and is set the star in the 2018
mystery welcomed the stranger
furthermore he simply looks the part
with his pale skin red lips and
untamable hair it’s as if this guy was
literally born to play the Joker you
think you’re some sort of hotshot number
four you on Ryan it’s hard to think of a
character more sadistic than the Joker
except for maybe Ramsay Bolton you think
I’m some sort of savage although II want
Ryan initially gained attention for
playing Simon Bellamy and misfits it was
his role on Game of Thrones that
skyrocketed him to popularity crayon did
a phenomenal job making the audience
despise Ramsay with every despicable
action he committed which included rape
castration and murder you watch
[Music]
what’s more the bastard of Bolton did
all of this with a slimy smile on his
face just slap some makeup on rayon and
we’d have no trouble seeing him as the
Joker DC should snatch him up
especially since marbles and humans
isn’t getting the best reviews number
three Willem Dafoe you think it was
coincidence so many good things all
happening for you another actor that’s
known for playing a Marvel villain
Willem Dafoe brought the Green Goblin
out of the comics and onto the big
screen having nailed it as spider-man’s
arch enemy he’s perfectly tailored to
portray the Dark Knight’s greatest
nemesis what are you talking about
before Jack Nicholson came along Dafoe
was actually considered to play the
Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman with his
naturally eerie voice and devious smile
writer Sam Hamm noted that Dafoe just
looked like the character granted Dafoe
as the Joker might confuse some
audiences since he’s already set to play
volcko in Justice League and Aquaman of
course the fact that we’re getting a
joker movie separate from the DC EU is
already pretty confusing bringing you
what you’ve always wanted power beyond
your wildest dreams and it’s only the
beginning
number 2 Jake Gyllenhaal I mean I just
don’t see the point in crying over a
dead rabbit you know who never even
feared death to begin with Jake
Gyllenhaal is a very charming actor but
people sometimes forget that he’s played
some incredibly strange and unsettling
characters over the years in one of his
breakthrough roles Gyllenhaal managed to
be disturbing while also being likable
as troubled teen Donnie Darko okay but
you’re not listening to me there are
other things that need to be taken into
account here he kept us all on the edge
of our seats as the seemingly soulless
loo bloomin night crawler plus
interestingly enough Gyllenhaal already
has a few ties to the Batman franchise
his sister Maggie appeared in The Dark
Knight and his Brokeback Mountain
co-star was of course the Joker
since Gyllenhaal can also be a
convincing nice guy we totally buy him
as a wide-eyed innocent that snaps after
just one bad day why hi ru before we get
to our top pick here are some honorable
mentions
even a hundred miles away I get there
before they would I just kept saying
please God just just just just get me
home please just don’t let me be too
late I told you a million trillion times
I did not touch her I kind of don’t know
what to say you don’t want you to say
anything
number one Leonardo DiCaprio Leonardo
DiCaprio has starred in various other
Martin Scorsese projects so it’s not
entirely surprising that he’s reportedly
Warner Brothers top candidate to play
the Joker
much like Gyllenhaal DiCaprio is an
actor that can play both good guys and
bad guys which would come in handy if
this origin story were to take a few
pages from The Killing Joke dicaprio
dominated the screen as the villainous
calvin jake handy and django unchained
set around the spinet table here tonight
but that you can believe he also
wrestled with his own sanity as Teddy
Daniels and shutter island’ while
nothing is set in stone yet Warner
Brothers should book this oscar-winning
actor for the role ASAP or else the joke
is on them
