Oh man. I never thought of it. But my goodness he could embody it visually so well. If we could have him work with Mark Hamill and somehow get the voice right, this would be 10000% perfect.
How Willem Dafoe still doesn't have an Oscar to his name is beyond me! He even admitted that, it's nice to be nominated. Really should've gotten one for his incredible performance in The Lighthouse.

There is not other actor alive that looks EXACTLY like the Joker. He looks just like the Arkham games version specifically. No other person has the chin, nose, eyes, smile, EVERYTHING like he does. And I have no idea how it hasn’t happened yet.

He can fly under the radar a little, but Dafoe has been my most watched actor 2 years in a row. He’s always working with interesting filmmakers and choosing good material to work with and he’s been doing it like that since the 80s. His on going collaborations with Abel Ferrara are some of my favourites.

At Eternity’s Gate and The Lighthouse should’ve earned him a couple of Oscars, not that awards mean that much nowadays but still. I’m glad Willem is still here gracing us with his performances. Love this guy ❤
I swear my love and respect for him just went through the roof, what a lovely guy. Never knew him like this!
He is one of my all time favorite actors…because of how he truly can transform himself and the emotion that he can portray…I love the fact that he is not afraid of the different types of roles he has taken and doesn’t shy away from them.

I loved Willem in The Florida Project. He had so much heart in it. Such a legend in virtually anything he does!
This man is one of the absolute best actors of all time. Anything he does he always has an impact on the film for me. Personally loved him the most in The Last Temptation of Christ.

Loved him in LTOC and Life Aquatic, but my favorite role of his is in Boondock Saints as Paul Smecker, such a tremendous actor!
He would be a sick joker. Him portraying the goblin is exactly why. He's always a standout in the movies he is in.
His excitement is contagious and he seems like the least pretentious actor ever. ❤

He’s so great. So awesome to have him still active

He's a legend. Willem Dafoe was great as Green Goblin. He's a legend. Hope he wins an Oscar someday.
Easily one of the most underrated actors ever
Absolutely one of the best actors of our time. And he seems like such a lighthearted great guy in real life.
he is so wonderful - his natural self is in such stark contrast to his characters: intense, scary, crazed, etc...but he's so humble and light hearted in real life, even downright goofy. What a gift
I hope Willem Dafoe win an Oscar in the near future - seen most of his work, cant shake of his work in the brilliant 'Antichrist' the Lars Von Trier movie, OMG
Make the three joker from the comicbook, with phoenix, that be the best movie in DCU
Such a sweet and chill man.
Willem Dafoe is amazing. His Green Goblin performance in Spider-Man and Spider-Man No Way Home is terrifying. He is the greatest MCU villain ever . I love his performance in Platoon, Born On The Fourth Of July , American Psycho , John Wick and many more . I would love to see him play The Joker 🃏

They’re probably gonna go for a younger actor for Joker in the new DCU (and they probably won’t explore Joker until later since Joker’s been done to death already), but still. It would be a dream come true if they pick him as the Joker for the new DCU. Or for any DC universe as long as that universe is executed well. He’s got my vote to play Joker. All day, any day.
Guy really is one of the best to ever do it, Oscar or not, unforgettable performance after performance.
This is the most genuine I’ve seen jimmy fallon interact with someone
Dafoe seems like that one cool and funny uncle the kids can't wait to see at every family gathering. This man is a legend! Loved him as Klaus on The Life Aquatic, Boondock Saints, and, of course, as the one and only Green Goblin!
He's easily one of the best actors of our time, I love Willem!!!
Actors are just normal people who express human emotions well. He’s sooo coooool!!!!
One of my lowkey fave actors. Iconic man!
I'm excited to see Inside 🔥 Willem is truly a master class actor with a powerful voice in a silent setting in a film that really draws in the crowd to listen & pay attention 💯
His beard in The Lighthouse is lit AF (pun most likely intended).
His idea for a Joker is literally a plot in the comics too I would love to see that story taken to the big screen tbh
Director Carson Clay, omg I laughed so much when he was playing that role in Mr.Bean😂😂
The perfect villain, William Defoe playing the Joker 🃏 , I can imagine the depths he will go to portray this character , not many people can fit this like a glove but William definitely can .
Man’s got the perfect face for a joker
Love Willem
William is one of my favorite actors. Funny and great personality.
Been one of my favorite actors for decades now
Absolutely a perfect Joker!! Even his voice is perfect!! Like Ryan Renalds being perfect for Deadpool! Some actors have that one role that is absolutely perfectly fit for him! Dafoe as Joker is absolutely perfect!! All he needs is to be himself, he doesn't even need to work at it!! He just fits!! Seriously listen to him!! That voice is perfect!!! The laughter is perfect, his profile is perfect! The way he sits is perfect!! His mannerisms are perfect!! Absolutely a role he is destined to be!!!
his voice is so soft, but that aside he is a incredibly actor
He's always polite and humble, the best actor no doubt
