LaKeith Stanfield says it is inevitable that he will play The Joker

[Bryan Danielson]

A black joker would be a box office nightmare. White people would boycott the movie and black people wouldn't go see it just based on him being black.

But does it really matter and can one really tell he’s black once he puts on the white face and green hair?

I don't see why he couldn't. People can point to race, but the whole point of the Joker is that we don't know where he comes from. He's assumed to be white, and most stories that give him an "origin" depict him as such, but it's not a betrayal to the canon if he's played by a Black man because race could not be more inconsequential to the character.

He should play him so it can piss off the white nerds.

I've noticed that fan backlash isn't as intense when the villain is played by a black actor (Kingpin, Zod, Mordo, Harvey Dent), so people might actually give him a chance.

BUT if the movie is trash, his casting will be the first thing fans point to, regardless of his performance. He already went through this with Death Note.

fukk it, once i accepted bond could be ab african american, why not the joker? He would kill the role no doubt...maybe a batman beyond setting (or more likley just an animated movie as the voice....)

Playing only on BET?

Good luck Brother! But let him pitch, plan and cook! He has good screen presence!

When does the Joker film drop with Joaquin?

 

[O.Red]

Hes a great actor but the Joker need a rest

 

[BreezyH]

Speak that ish into existence man. Not that far fetched

 

[Child_Of_God]

White people would lose their mind if they were to cast him.

With as many Jokers there’s been in the last few years I can’t say I disagree with him when he says it’s inevitable

Even in the comics they got that 'There are three Jokers' shyt going on, even if they keep beating around the bush to explain that shyt whatsoever.
