David Dastmalchian wants to play The Joker: “One of the greatest career dreams”

Marvel actor David Dastmalchian has revealed his career ambition is to play Batman’s nemesis The Joker.Speaking to Collider at the recent Saturn Awards, the actor confessed he would love to take on the role made famous by Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and Joaquin Phoenix among others.“I know we’re just kidding around here, but I would love it” he said, before explaining: “I think some people go ‘Hamlet is my life’s quest,’ or ‘Willy Loman is my life’s quest.’ Getting to put on the makeup of the Clown Prince of Crime at some point in my lifetime is up there next to one of my greatest career dreams, which is to be an enemy of James Bond.”Dastmalchian came close to his dream in 2008, when he played a henchman for Ledger’s Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. In Batman TV show Gotham, he also played the character of Dwight Pollard, who was a disciple of Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan), a version of The Joker within the show.A talented character actor, he has played many roles across the Marvel and DC Universes.

Lady Gaga on ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ reception: “People just sometimes don’t like some things”

Lady Gaga has spoken about the poor critical reception to Joker: Folie à Deux, in which she played Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix‘s Joker.Following 2019’s hugely-successful Joker, its sequelfaced mounting anticipation due in part to the first film’s positive, though controversial, reception, along with the addition of Gaga to the cast.The film’s release in October, however, was met with hugely negative reviews by critics along with a dismal performance at the box office. Tim Dillon, who appeared in the film as an Arkham Asylum security guard, revealed that he and his fellow cast members were already skeptical about the film’s final cut during production.Gaga, on the other hand, previously called director Todd Phillips’ decision to make the sequel a musical as “a very big swing” and also praised the film’s “audacity and complexity”.Now, in a new interview with Elle, Gaga was asked about the film’s public reception.

Quentin Tarantino has shared his thoughts on Todd Phillips‘ Joker: Folie à Deux – see what he had to say below.Despite the Joaquin Phoenix– and Lady Gaga-led film performing rather disappointingly at the box office, the Kill Bill director praised the film, saying he “really, really liked it” on the latest episode of The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast.Tarantino – who has struck up a friendship with Phillips over the years – expanded on his thoughts: “I went to see it expecting to be impressed by the filmmaking.

That’s like a big, giant mess to some degree.
