Following a social media campaign to cast actress Kristen Stewart as The Joker opposite Robert Pattinson’s Batman, the actress was recently asked if she would ever consider the role.
Stewart responded to Variety saying: “I love the energy behind that [fan campaign]. Its 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.”
Asked if that was a definitive ‘no,’ Stewart says: “Not ‘no,’ but not the most stoked I’ve ever been. Let’s do something new.” The role itself has been played on the big screen by Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto and Joaquin Phoenix and on the small screen by Cesar Romero, Mark Hamill and Cameron Monaghan.
The 31-year-old actress is out doing press for her role as Princess Diana in “Spencer” which debuted to critical acclaim at Venice and Telluride. She recently wrapped David Cronenberg’s new film “Crimes of the Future”.
