With rumors about being up for Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy, DC Universe fans instead depict Bill Skarsgård as Joker through new fan art. As the DCEU concludes its run in 2023, DC Studios are not wasting any time replacing it as they are working on their new DC Universe franchise. Through James Gunn and Peter Safran's new leadership, the hope is to build a new interconnected universe that will be able to compete with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As DC Studios are working on several upcoming DC Universe movies and TV shows, there will be an endless list of heroes and villains to cast in the new universe. For the Joker, a popular fancasting is that of Bill Skarsgård, which has now been depicted in new fan art by Youssef Defenshi. SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This Joker fan art comes as Skarsgård, along with his brother Alexander, have been rumored to be eyed for Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy. Whether or not either of them is still up for the iconic Superman villain has yet to be clarified following the official casting of David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan as Clark Kent and Lois Lane.
Even before Skarsgård was reported to be a frontrunner for Superman: Legacy, many have suggesting him as a perfect Joker casting. Given that he has already played one infamous bloodthirsty clown as Pennywise in the It movies, Skarsgård has proven that he would be amazing as the Joker. At the same time, it wouldn't be shocking if someone like the Joker is a role that Skarsgård would turn down, given how similar the Clown Prince of Crime and Pennywise are.
Whether he would be cast as Joker or Lex, having someone as big as Bill Skarsgård in the DC Universe would be a major win for DC Studios. From his impressive body of work, Skarsgård has quickly become a hot name in Hollywood, and his audience would easily follow him if he joined the DC Universe. But for now, time will tell if the actor lands a role in the DC Universe or not.
