Actor David Howard Thornton, who plays Art the Clown in the Terrifier series, has said he’s up for playing another killer clown in the future: none other than DC’s the Joker.
Thorton told GamesRadar that the Joker is his favorite villain of all time and that it’s a character he “would love to play myself one day.” He went on to say he hopes DC Studios co-boss James Gunn “gives me the opportunity” to play Joker because Thornton believes he could “do a lot of fun things with him.”
Over the years, the Joker has been played by people like Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, and Joaquin Phoenix most recently. The Terrifier series is known for its extreme and unrelenting gore, and DC’s Joker is not necessarily as sadistic, but it would no doubt be fun to see Thorton give it a go.
