Bill Skarsgard is a fan of the DC supervillain too. The actor revealed that he is quite interested in playing the character of Joker, claiming that he has a pretty cool Joker in him. In conversation with Josh Horowitz, Skarsgard revealed that he had been in awe of the role and had always supported the underdog antagonist in the DC projects. 

Further opening up about the character, the actor revealed, "There's a pretty cool Joker in me and it would be very sick.” Moreover, the podcast hosts went on to ask Skarsgard about whom he would want to play if given a chance: Batman or the Joker. 

In response, the actor revealed, "Maybe both. I can be sort of schizophrenic... Batman is Joker and Joker is Batman. You know actors do that when they play like twins, or, you know, it sounds so exhausting like shooting in like changing outfits and then acting opposite to yourself."

He further added, "I don’t know man like yeah I think you know I do believe there could be a fu*king joker in me probably somewhere. I think that could be pretty sick."
