Bill Skarsgård thinks he can be your new Batman or Joker

Fans love fancasting, and most of all they love doing it Batman. While Robert Pattinson still wears the hood for Matt Reeves recently delayed crime saga, people are waiting to see who will play the Dark Knight in the next as well. Brave & the Bold. If things went Bill Skarsgård’s way, he would be more than willing to play either Batman o Joker.

While Skarsgård knows as much about that film as anyone who isn’t Muschietti or James Gunn — aka “not much” — he’s more than open to teaming up with the director again after collaborating before. him Is it series.

Similarly, Skarsgård is convinced that there is a “really cool good Joker” in him, and thinks that playing the Clown Prince would be “pretty sick”.
