Although Bill Skarsgård is being considered for the role of Lex Luthor, the actor might have another character well-fitted in his pocket. With James Gunn and Peter Safran heading the DC universe, they are not wasting any time replacing as they move forwards with the new DCU phase.
Hopefully, the new DC will give Marvel Cinematic Universe a tough run as the former is set to introduce an endless list of heroes and villains to cast in the new universe. David Corenswet replaced Henry Cavill as the Kryptonian hero, and now DC’s Joker has also found a new face.

As casting is on the line for ‘Superman: Legacy’, the fans are eagerly waiting to know the rest of the actors embodying the characters of the movie.

Bill Skarsgård Is Perfect For The Role Of Joker
Before Lex Luthor, Bill Skarsgård was considered for the role of the laughing manic. Previously played the role of bloodthirsty clown Pennywise in the horror franchise ‘IT’, Bill Skarsgård has a knack for dealing with disturbing and horror characters. However, the similarities between Clown Prince of Crime and Pennywise will make it easier for Bill Skarsgård to land the role of Joker.
From his impressive work and precarious roles, Skarsgård has earned a quick name in Hollywood. Either Joker or Lux Luthor, the actor has a promising role in James Gunn-led DCEU.
