Cant imagine any actor doing better then Phoenix did.

Probably not.

while I love Scorsese and Leo together and think it would have probably been incredible

I do not see Leo being able to give this kind of performance or being right for this JOKER....

This movie/script/concept truly took a one of a kind actor and while Leo is truly one of the greatest actors ever....I do not believe he was right for this.

i said this in another thread, but I do not believe any other actor could have hits the heights Phoenix did here...had this exact movie been with any of a dozen different excellent actors, I'm sure all would have been good, some great, but none on the level of Phoenix

honestly the only other actor, IMO that could have hit the levels Phoenix hit here is Daniel Day Lewis, but unfortunately He doesnt fit the role, being too old...

Shutter Island was my favorite film of 2010

The Wolf of Wall Street is almost a masterpiece(and IMO some of Leos best work) and criminally underrated

the Aviator is Incredible

The Departed is amazing

I love Leo and Scorsese, I have no doubt their Joker would have been Truly great and maybe as an overall movie as good or better than Phillips Joker, But if were talking this Joker movie, NO ONE could have done better than Phoenix and IMO Leo wouldnt have been right for this part

Leo is too INTENSE for this kind of Joker role.

That said, I think Christoph Waltz under Scorsese's direction might be able to, acting wise, but his accent would probably hinder it a bit.

Christoph Waltz

^^^


wow, Never even remotely considered him....

while hes a great actor, I just cant imagine him in the role....thats no me saying he wouldnt be great, I just truly cant imagine him in the role...

reply

yeah it would have been better for sure

reply

I don't know if Leo could pull off the Joker,I can see him as a Batman villian but not Joker heck maybe even Lex Luthor might be interesting if they make a solo movie

reply

A bald Leo? Interesting.
