Lakeith Stanfield’s love for Joker is apparent as rumblings have already begun about who might play the iconic villain next!
"I mean, there are so many versions of [the Joker]," Stanfield explained when he and co-star Issa Rae spoke with ET's Nischelle Turner about."It's a fictional character, [you can] really start it however you want and design it however you want, which is a beautiful thing about it."
"But there are many characters I want to play, the Joker is just one," he added."I think it would be fun to play a smart villain, so that is basically what I want to do."Uncut Gems-- said his personal portrayals of the Joker have been less of an"audition tape" and more just having fun. "I was laying around just dressing up," he recalled of the Instagram clip. "I was actually with a loved one at the time and we were, you know, just being funny and dressing up and that amount of freedom is the kind of thing that I love in relationships, by the way. It's like having the freedom to be able to randomly [say], 'I am going to be Joker today.' I just turned on my camera and was listening to Usher, so it just kind of happened.
"Oh man, how do you describe it? You just kind of know it -- maybe, more often than not, it's a ramp-up kind of feeling," Stanfield offered. "It's like, more things keep happening, more experiences take place and finally... you got to go full throttle. And it is scary, but, you know, you hope what you know and your intuition is going to drive you forward."
