The Batman: Kristen Stewart responds to fans who want her to play the Joker

The new trailer for The Batman was recently unleashed at DC FanDome and fans are quite excited for the latest incarnation of the Dark Knight. It’s probably a safe bet to say that we’ll be seeing more of Robert Pattinson’s Batman, which also means that it’s only a matter of time before we met the latest version of the Joker. As for just who can step into the role of the Joker, fans have been campaigning for Warner Bros. to cast Kristen Stewart as the Clown Prince of Crime.

Beyond the gimmick of pairing the former Twilight stars together once again, it’s not actually an awful idea and Kristen Stewart could bring a very different energy to the Joker. I can’t imagine that it would actually happen, but Stewart responded to the idea while speaking with Variety about her upcoming film Spencer.

I love the energy behind that. It’s really been done so well. I feel like, maybe, we don’t traipse over, but I love that gusto. Let’s figure something else out. I’m totally down to play a freaky, scary person.

When asked if that was a no, Kristen Stewart said, “Not ‘no,’ but not the most stoked I’ve ever been. Let’s do something new.” We’ve seen several versions of the Joker in recent years, including Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, Jared Leto in Suicide Squad, and Joaquin Phoenix in Joker. How would you feel about Kristen Stewart playing Joker in The Batman sequel?

The Batman will feature Robert Pattinson will be starring as Bruce Wayne/The Batman, with Jeffrey Wright playing James Gordon, Paul Dano playing the Riddler, Zoe Kravitz playing Selina Kyle, Andy Serkis playing Alfred, John Turturro playing Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson, and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot. The Batman will debut in theaters on March 4, 2022.
