Charlie Cox Expresses Interest in Playing Joker in James Gunn's DC Universe

The Daredevil star shares his thoughts on reimagining the iconic Batman villain while preparing for Marvel's 'Daredevil: Born Again.'

Charlie Cox, best known for portraying Daredevil in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has expressed interest in playing the Joker in James Gunn's DC Universe.
During a Fan Expo panel in San Francisco, Cox described the Joker as a role that would be 'a lot of fun' but acknowledged the immense legacy of past portrayals, particularly Heath Ledger's iconic performance.
Cox emphasized the importance of finding a fresh and unique take on the character, rather than imitating previous interpretations.
The DC Universe's future plans for the Joker remain speculative, with Barry Keoghan's version teased in 'The Batman' and no confirmation of the character's inclusion in Gunn's upcoming projects.
Meanwhile, Cox is set to return as Daredevil in 'Daredevil: Born Again,' premiering on Disney+ on March 4, which promises a darker and more complex narrative for the character.
