Johnny Depp May Be Our Next Joker, for the Robert Pattinson Universe

I think he would be very creative with the role. But still not as good as Phoenix. That is the truth.

Oh Christ! He already ruined Willy Wonka, isn't that enough? So many bad, sell out, bad accent movies. Do some theater Johnny. Get your acting credentials back.

I did not like Heath Ledger in his role as “Joker”.

I’m so tired of seeing Depp’s Halloween costume performances.

My god dc is a mess, a third joker already. It hasn't even been. 5 years since letos horrible joker.

He fucking sucks on every level. He's a hammy actor and a piece of shit human

And he's a drunken junkie

Billy Porter as the Joker or I will fucking burn Twitter to the ground!!!!!

Be’d be an excellent Joker. He probably won’t win an AA for it, however.

I’d like to see Johnny get one. He’s a good actor, and he deserves one.

If he’s being considered and it’s not hype-drop, he’s insurable.

Johnny’s talented AF, he’s just lost his way for a while here, and if he’s gotten his shit together, he’ll make a comeback.

Go, go Johnny go, go...

(I only give you shit, because I know you’re really good at this, JD. Your biggest critics are your fans. You know this).

Here’s a li’ ditty for Johnny. 👇🏼

my guess is that this is a PR move on Depp's team's part. Depp is too unreliable to put into a new billion dollar franchise. There's a reason these people get paid $5K per month retainers.

Johnny Depp may be our next dead junkie is more like it. Depp's career is over.

I doubt that since Depp is still involved in the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them movie franchise and still has bad press attached to him, because of the messy divorce of Amber Head.

There hasn't been any recent development on the fantastic beasts part 3 so maybe wb put it on ice after the second one flopped. 300 million budget with marketing etc and only made 600 million and they only get a portion of that.

So f-in' sick of Jokers and DC/Marvel movies.

Well, then write and pitch something different, R14.

I’m serious.

Yep. r10 is likely correct. It's the new "Martin Scorsese wants Sarah Michelle Gellar in Gangs Of New York!".

The last 3 Jokers were all druggies so Depp will fit right in.

Given that he seems like the Joker in his day to day life, this wouldn't require him to stretch much as an actor.

Sounds good.....he was so GREAT as The Lone Ranger and Barnabas Collins.....

Why can’t Quinoa Phoenix be Pattinson’s Joker? Just connect the universes. They’re both DC.

Too hammy. I used to like him until he became a caricature.

no makeup necessary for him to play that role.

So Joaquin doesn't want that franchise money? He'd be $et for life.

Phoenix is doing fine. And is someone who is more about art than money

Is that where KFC got the idea for all those different actors playing Colonel Sanders?

OP, since you're such a friend of the derivative P., would you tell him that he now has enough money to get that harelip fixed?

Lying about it does no one any good.

Robin Patterson can't act! That smashed face boy from the Vampire Twinkle movies with the awkward pothead lesbian girl???

HE'S BATMAN? I am not seeing it. Just how can a really gifted actor work with a bad actor like that? Fucks up his whole game!

Joaquin can ACT. He’s a MUCH better actor than Depp, and obviously has a good spirit, because he humiliated the fuck out of himself, yet was humble enough to say, “Fuck it”, and keep going at it.

I take back my nice Johnny moment I had, earlier. I forget Halloween night at the Viper Room, until someone or something reminds me, and then I remember what Johnny has spent his entire fucking life, trying to forget, yet is too full of piss and vinegar to accept responsibility for and wants to die, but is too much of a pussy to commit to life, or death, either way.

This is what you get, when you don’t pay that debt. The special type, that can never actually be paid.

Excellent description 😆

Phoenix can not only ACT,unlike Depp he's smart enough to avoid overexposure, and keep his ability to vanish into a role.

But I dont know if he refuses to overexpose himself out of wisdom, or if he's just too flaky to play publicity games.

Joaquin is a raging drug addict like depp, he's lived a pretty fucked life according to gossip. He even fucked his sister. 😷

Joaquin don't want to work right now, he's too worried about the cows.

Well, he managed to clean up pretty fucking well and stay on point for awards season, and acting doesn’t give a shit if you’re a raging drug addict, it just cares that you show up, do your job, and let the chips fall where they may.

I’ve seen Joaquin’s “drama”. It almost as bad as Depp’s, but as of today, only one of them has and Academy Award.

LMAO, and LOL, Bitches.

Hey, JP, @ R35! Kisses! 😘

I remember in the '90s he was an 'Indie darling.' He was very vocal about eschewing big budget Hollywood movies in favor of smaller productions. He had an aloof and mysterious yet endearing aura. Then came 2003 and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, which changed everything for him. Not only was it a blockbuster, but it garnered him his first Oscar nomination. After that, he was the very thing he used to disdain -- a big budget/salaried movie star. Was it a midlife crisis? He turned 40 that same year.

R31 Are you referring to this? He does seem sketchy in that interview at the end.

Johnny Depp has become the butt of the joke — he has lots of fodder to be a supervillain Joker.

Can Depp even act anymore? He's a drunken mess. He looks like Keith Richards now. Will he even have time with the all court dates and lawsuits with Amber.

Is it time for another BATMAN or JOKER movie? That's great news! I dont think theres been one released since October.

Hopefully there will be another version of LITTLE WOMEN soon too!

Ugh, no, please not fuck’n Johnny Depp. He’s such a douche bag POS. I’d even be willing to settle for scum bag Matthew McConaughey over him.

How is he a scumbag??

Echoing R14. Why exactly do we need this?

How many scarves will his Joker wear? Twelve? Seventeen? Will his origin story include an abusive, younger ex-wife? Dashed hopes of being a rock star? Will he threaten to drown, burn and fuck Selina Kyle (in that order) to piss off his nemesis and just for shits n giggles?

This role is writing itself! Johnny IS the Joker, everyone! OSCAR, HERE HE COMES!

Heath Ledger, in his current state, would do a better job.

R43 personal hygiene, he no longer showers on a regular basis

[quote] Heath Ledger, in his current state, would do a better job

I did not like Heath Ledger in his role as “Joker”.

He won a Oscar for a reason.

R47 oh that's not surprising. I thought it was something more serious.

R49 Depp has never won an Oscar.

Boy this doesn't sound like a good pairing. Flighty and unstable younger closeted [pothead actor meets with Johnny Depp, current king of drug and alcohol abuse.

Only one person can play the next Joker.

Depp as the Joker was something I always wanted ever since the Burton Batman films. It should be interesting to say the least.

R47 I don't think you know what the word scumbag means

I like Depp but I was just wondering why can't bring Phoenix back, is he taking a break?

Joaquin is a method actor, so he probably doesn't want to be in that headspace again. And again.

Johnny probably wants it because it involves white face makeup. He loves roles with a ton of makeup.

Inspired! Johnny Depp would make a great joker.

R56 I doubt Phoenix would want to be in a cgi superhero blockbuster movie

My takeaway from Joaquin's Joker that it was mostly all in his head (a different man killed the Waynes), thus enabling his Joker to be a "one off". His motives weren't evil

Depp cannot and does not do villains well - look at his portrayal of Gindelwald in the newest Potter movies.

His Joker would belong in the 1960s Batman tv series - whether he intended it that way or not.
