One of the great surprises batman, by Matt Reeves, was Barry Keoghan’s foray as a new version of the Joker. It was precisely in March that Warner Bros. released a deleted scene from the film, where the characters of Barry Keoghan and Robert Pattinson discuss the Riddler case. After such promising material, the followers of the Bat Man have wondered if Keoghan has a chance to return to Batman 2. The Irish actor has an answer about it and, in addition, he allows himself to praise the work of the late Heath Ledger.
In an interview for GQthe actor of Eternals hinted that his return as the Clown Prince of Crime in Batman 2 it is not a fact. But he would love the opportunity to participate in the Dark Knight sequel and show his version of the Joker, a character that has had various iterations in film and television.
“I’d love to show a little arc of him,” he said. “If he could bring it to life it would be amazing and give them my version, which they haven’t seen.”
On the other hand, and in an interview for Collider, Barry Keoghan gave details of how difficult it is to embody a character as complex as the Joker. In this regard, he could not help but include Heath Ledger in the conversation -who, to date, holds the title of the best interpretation of the villain- for whom he had pure praise.
However, the actor also wanted to make it clear that for his version of the Joker in batman He does not want to take anyone as a reference and, instead, has always wanted to build his version of this famous villain from scratch.
«it’s very intimidating [interpretar al Joker]. Heath Ledger was the best for me. So you have a lot of people to draw inspiration from and stuff. But again, you bring your version. That’s what I do with any character I play, no one has seen my version. And again, coming back to the same thing, I don’t want to be like so-and-so, and follow that method and that method. I want to be myself. I want to wear my version, because I feel like it’s new in a way, and unique, than when you wear your own version and no one has seen it. And that can make people identify with her. So it was intimidating, but I was excited.”
