Kristen Stewart Addresses Possibility of Playing Joker

Robert Pattinson is set to make his cinematic debut as Batman next year and fans are already making suggestions on who should play the Joker who might make an appearance in future films. One of the names that are showing up is Pattinson's Twilight co-star and former girlfriend Kristen Stewart. Now, the actress herself has broken silence and addressed if we would ever see her play the famous DC villain.

During an interview with Variety, Stewart was asked if she would consider playing the Joker. She answered, "I love the energy behind that. It’s really been done so well. I feel like, maybe, we don’t traipse over, but I love that gusto. Let’s figure something else out. I’m totally down to play a freaky, scary person." When asked if it was a definitive no, she said, "Not ‘no,’ but not the most stoked I’ve ever been. Let’s do something new."

Stewart would be an interesting casting choice for the Joker. She has proved in the past few years that she is a fantastic actress, but it's hard to imagine her as the iconic villain yet. The Joker is a tough role to play and there's a reason why a few selected actors only got the opportunity to play the character.

The chances of the actress playing the role might be slim to none since the Joker is a traditionally male character and it might be awkward for her to work with her ex-boyfriend. But then it would be interesting to see what she will do on the character. It will definitely be a unique take for sure.
