He would be a perfect joker

[@Kai-worldclass]

What are you basing it on? The comics?

[@danted3408]

​@@Kai-worldclass his face bone structure can probably do the voice with ease

The most depraved. He’d be perfect

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

I'm glad we had Joaquin Phoenix Joker - but damn... Willem Dafoe would be absolutely perfect for that character.

[@lilsqueezie]

Pretty much anyone I mention that movie to doesn't like it but I thought it was badass. It was a way more realistic version of joker.

He looks like Joker without any makeup

Lmao! RIGHT?

[@ahmedrachael4611]

Yes😂😂😂😂😂

[@LoveHandle4890]

I mean, if can be a perfect Green Goblin then he can be the perfect Joker too.

[@LLeal-es4ow]

he can be an amazing joker but perfect goes to mark hamill

[@sumuqh]

He also has the voice for it

[@dekudude8888]

I like the idea of Dafoe's Joker not being the ACTUAL Joker and the horror of it being "Well if this guy was a copycat, imagine how horrifying the TRUE Clown Prince Of Crime is..."

[@yokgor4675]

It wouldn’t work. Anyone who plays the “real” Joker afterwards would be underwhelming in comparison. People would be like, “I’m sorry, but…it seems to me that the “copycat” looks more like real deal.” Lol

[@sykamoreva9803]

If they ever adapted the Three Jokers story, I think he'd be a shoe-in for either The Comedian or The Criminal

[@Nunyabusiness-ny4xb]

@@sykamoreva9803ong I was just toying with the idea of a three joker movie adaptation with William dafoe being one of the jokers

[@anonymouzzz4307]

It would be like the Mandarin in Iron Man 2

[@MoonMunch001]

William Dafoe is SUCH a great actor - he could do any character he chooses💯❣️

[@ennieariany5267]

Agree !

[@edwardtraylor5652]

Willem is an AMAZING actor, he’d do an awesome job, I’d totally show up at any theater I could see that performance in!

[@nikoandriano389]

Well he has the nose, he has the laugh... Perfect role 😂

[@shriharihudli]

And the smile.

After playing Green Goblin, if he plays Joker next, my life would be complete.

[@MJPamuru20]

What a cool, sweet guy he is!

[@amjh4lah809]

Yes. Definitely. Can even imagine the voice 😍

[@geekarchivistpearce828]

If only the writing would match how he does things, but Hollywood chooses IDIOTS and MORONS for these projects. So frustrating to be honest.

[@alexhuerta6164]

How have we not already put this into the works, this NEEDS to happen. That little clip of him in make up makes me NEED THIS

[@benji_san]

he's basically saying "hollywood, you've dropped the ball so i'm not hinting to it anymore"

[@kennyvelez9703]

He deserves it. He would be perfect

[@FoxyTheHeroFox]

He would be the perfect Joker he had voices like Mark Hamill

[@definitelynosebreather]

I never thought about him as the Joker, now I can't unsee it!

[@Mysticgames136]

Well, I have ever since I heard his evil laugh and his smile as the Green Goblin.

[@alec6583]

"Who should we get to play the Joker? How about Willem DaFoe?" "We were thinking the lead singer for 30 Seconds to Mars."

[@thedarkknight2424]

“That’s a terrible ide-“ “DID I STUTTER”

[@ArjunTheRageGuy]

I mean, this dude is definently joker potential, considering how he laughs when he was green goblin in no way home

[@callumheatherly5685]

Perfect casting 4 a joker. It might even happen

[@MegaTech81]

Him as Joker with John Hamm as Batman would be a perfect representation of the characters in their middle age

[@michaelsavides8856]

Willem Dafoe does have the absolute face and vibe. Also is acting chops would never disappoint. I really do like the kid from Shameless.

[@rickmaldoo4205]

Willem Dafoe is perfect in anything he does he is one of the greats

[@Jabba-le-feminist-hating-Hutt]

His voice is awesome

[@lochlansmyth484]

Willem Dafoe is on my top 25 actors list for sure 👍

[@user-bh7jb7zg5b]

He will play Two-Face

[@baronvonbeandip]

He would be a perfect Marvel villain. Like, someone from the Spiderman franchise of characters. Like, Big Wheel.

[@thefacelessquestion3333]

That moustache is goated

[@rebeccalafontaine8738]

He seems sooo nice

[@MelancholyRequiem]

He's a national treasure.

[@mrydobon]

He was a perfect Green Goblin.

[@elxiyrl9747]

"Nice to hear you got the vibe of a sociopath" Ok Norman Osborn

[@user-pi1lb4tf2f]

Arkham City Joker is perfect for Dafoe. A dying but still crazy Joker.

[@Nyxnik]

Honestly I'm not much of a movie guy, however there are cases when I see and actor and think "damn, he would be perfect in this role, would be amazing to watch how he does it". And this is one of those cases.

[@Semperf11]

Man that would be amazing to watch, him as the joker

[@lindseybalfour-brown8745]

He'd be amazing ❤

[@PlaybillsAndPixels]

This man is the modern Vincent Price.

[@BarManE.C]

Absolutely loved Defoe in John Wick! He nailed the role

[@cgrychefilms]

Great idea!

[@jeromedamian5740]

William Defoe was awesome in focus

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

Yes please!

[@MrPrinceredz]

I love this guy... I feel that IT WILL HAPPEN.

[@goofparty420]

[@majorcalvary6515]

He and Tom Berenger were perfect and made Platoon so believable.

[@nobocrook]

We need this

[@barbsyorkies]

U look like himmm alllll the way...gooooo

[@nabbly]

I would love for Joaquin to be “young” joker since it takes place in the 80s. And then at the end of Joker 2 it flash towards to present day and it’s fucking Willem Dafoe recounting his past or whatever. Idk.

[@stratifacations8377]

It's not the vibe. It's the voice and the way he presented himself as the green goblin

[@lueb92]

I’m Loving That 70’s-80’s stash tho !

[@themythicfire]

Its for the Nosferatu remake with Robert Eggers he's filming.. Its not the 70s sache you're probably thinking about..probably 1870s or smth

you know, I'm something of a joker myself!🔥🔥

[@dashtoroya2838]

Well he doesn't have to be joker. He perfected goblin very well even having a shorter run time.(goblin Character is kinda dark)

[@rajatgupta9043]

Kinda Dark?

[@anthony8241]

Nope he needs to be joker and he’ll be great at it

[@bigrandomun9267]

The eyes are what sell me on him being the Joker. The way his eyes just open up and you see his face contort around d his eyes and smile are exactly like the Joker. If the smile doesn’t get you, the eyes will.

[@NickferZev]

You know what Joker would he play perfectly? The one for The Dark Knight Returns. I’m almost sure there won’t be a live action adaptation coming anytime soon, but I can always dream.

[@lea-gabriellelarkin366]

He killed it as the goblin. Can you imagine him as the joker!? It would be amazing.

[@JunkieRemix]

We will not stop until he is in one way or another Joker, maybe James Gunn might pick up his idea and bring it to life in the new DCU

[@_makeitreal_]

i would’ve liked to see him as joker in “the batman” but i’m sure i’ll warm up to the guy they picked

[@tyt0craft_65]

he could be a version of the joker on the boys

[@adolphaselrah9506]

He did a great job playing the green goblin. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did a great job of playing the joker.

[@quintenbrouwer9690]

If they ever adapt the dark knight returns to live action, he should be definitely be the joker

[@NKal]

That would be an amazing idea.

[@TheCrazyrace]

he should play a older Joker, ah what a wonderful actor for this role

[@stephane4167]

Please DC, how could you not see that ?

[@phantomxix9604]

I do hope this happens in my lifetime.

[@goodcitizen3780]

I would watch several movies with Willem Dafoe as the joker.

[@denyasaltz1994]

FORGET THAT WILLEM. YOU WERE FANTAS IN "MISSISSIPPI BURNING". REALLY YOU WERE. YOU WERE THE PERFECT SUPPORT TO GENE HACKMAN'S CHARACTER 👍🎭🎬. 😇😎🎤.

Dark knight returns vibes

[@D1dillz_]

He is literally the joker but for marvel

[@777skeleton]

To me, as a Masters of the universe fan, he would make an awesome Skeletor.

[@shahree100]

Perfect.

[@WhentheBehelitScreams]

It's now or never. Hopefully he plays the role. He definitely giving every joker a run for their money.

[@MegaDon000]

I always imagined him as the comic book joker....😂

[@wmorris3484]

He is so busy! Recently I watched his cooking show and he about burned the kitchen down! It was hilarious to watch him to continue to talk and cook while vanilla Ice was running around looking for a fire extinguisher! Yeah that kind of busy

[@fortyseven1832]

The joker peaked with Heath.

[@themango-lorian4027]

They could do a Batman movie where both Bruce and the joker are older fighting with the whole bat family like in some of the animated films

[@I.lovememes]

If Willem Dafoe Plays Joker Then Joaquin Phoenix Needs To Play The Green Goblin

[@user-kd3xn1xt4d]

He deserves more movie the producer wear dumb that they wear fool that they didn't make gree goblin as solo and use him in joker .

[@matthewglabek2787]

William Dafoe can be a good Joker in Batman Movie

[@jordankelly1912]

He would make a good Joker for a live action version of The Killing Joke

[@josephsmith7472]

With his age, he could still do the joker in like a dark knight returns kinda movie

[@edgeofreality1883]

Unfortunately I have serious doubts that something as perfect and ingenious as getting William Defoe to play as the Joker would ever be dreamed up by ANYONE in charge.

[@dylankeenan9716]

Willem Dafoe would be perfect, would give heath's version a run for his money

[@jamesgarcia6966]

One of my favorite actors doesn't get the credit he deserves

[@Heywoodjablome1964]

Ayyyy Willem smokes the ganja

[@JewelRocks123]

William defoe looks most similar to the comic version of the Joker.

[@RJTheCerealGuy]

There are other villains you guys know right, I think he’d be more fitting for one of the lesser known ones like calendar man

[@LeonExile05]

I think Ben Affleck’s Batman (Aged a bit more) would have been perfect to face off against Willem Dafoe’s Joker. They just need a script that shows the end of their relationship. What a movie that would be.

[@theicekingonYT]

It’s not the vibe of a sociopath it’s more the voice and the look (very close to the Arkham games joker) but most importantly the laugh that laugh is about as good as mark hamil (goated) laugh without you even trying but other than that nice man

[@jamesdubeck4920]

He would be a fantastic joker. He got to show that a little bit in spiderman multiverse

[@FUXX_UT008]

In Some timeline that the joker got older. He would be perfect 👍

[@jjeremy350]

Yessss PERFECT ROLE JOKER

[@HeisenberggWhite]

Willem is the ultimate Joker

[@roachdoggjr54]

unpopular opinion here: if Marvel Studios had played their cards right early on, then Danny DeVito could've been made to look like an impressive live-action adaptation to X-Men's Wolverine .

[@ursidae97]

I actually think he'd pull off an awesome joker in a Batman beyond movie.

[@lv6241]

I love the idea… please be the Joker😊❤
