LaKeith Stanfield has his eye on one of cinema’s most iconic roles.
The Joker.
Details on his bid to portray the maniacal DC Comics villain below…
The character was created by Finger, Kane & Robinson and was actually supposed to die following his first appearance but was saved by DC Comics editors who felt he’d serve as the perfect nemesis for their hero Batman.
Now, Lakeith is ready to take him on.
I want people to dress up as me as Black Joker, when that inevitably happens. I just think there are so many things that haven’t been touched yet in terms of how the performance can be delivered.
His work in the movies ‘Short Term 12′, ‘Selma’, ‘Quest’, ‘Get Out’ and ‘Sorry to Bother You’ has made him one of Hollywood’s more in-demand actors and seen him gross over $521 million at the box office to date.
