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.
