Realistically, the odds of Wiseau actually getting the chance to play The Joker seem pretty slim (especially when we consider the caliber of the actors who have been suggested as realistic contenders for the role), but it is definitely interesting to think of the man behind The Room donning the white makeup.
This whole thing started when casting rumors for Todd Philips’ Joker origin movie started circulating several weeks ago.
Joaquin Phoenix’s name surfaced as the frontrunner to portray The Clown Prince of Crime in the non-DCEU project, but Wiseau threw his hat into the ring as an alternative casting choice.
