Joker: 6 Actors Who Could Follow In The Footsteps Of Heath Ledger And Joaquin Phoenix

LaKeith Stanfield

Quickly becoming one of the most accomplished and versatile young actors in Hollywood, LaKeith Stanfield is a bonafide talent. Making an impression on FX’s excellent Atlanta after previously making strong supporting turns in movies like Short Term 12, Straight Outta Compton, and Selma, Stanfield has built a resume filled with highlights, notably with standout roles in Get Out, Sorry to Bother You, Knives Out, and Uncut Gems, to name only a few. He’s an actor who continues to prove himself in a variety of roles in various different genres, and his ability to perform in a multitude of roles proves that he has what it takes to tackle the challenges that come with playing The Joker. 

Certainly, there has been interest in seeing Stanfield playing the part, as the actor himself has publicly expressed interest. Just last month, in fact, Stanfield noted that he would love to play The Joker with the Safdie brothers.
