Bill Skarsgård Comments on Lex Luthor Rumors & Potential Role As Joker

Does the DC Universe have its Joker? Bill Skarsgård reveals his interest in playing the clown while speaking on the rumor he was up for the role of Lex Luthor.

Of course, Nicholas Hoult would eventually land the role of Lex Luthor, with the rumor of Alexander and Bill Skarsgård being up for the part falling back into the endless ocean of noise for people to forget the next time their favorite scooper gets a report. While debunking a rumor like this would usually crush the hearts of fans hoping that Bill Skarsgård would join the DC Universe, it’s likely to invigorate those campaigning for him to play the Joker in Batman: The Brave and The Bold, which is helmed by former IT director Andy Muschietti. However, his interest in the role combined with having previously worked with Andy Muschietti may mean good things for him joining the DC Universe in an upcoming project, regardless of who he might play.
