Adrien Brody recently shared stories about trying out for the famous role of the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, which was played by Heath Ledger instead. Ledger won an Oscar for his unforgettable performance as the notorious Batman nemesis after his untimely death.
On Josh Horowitz’s podcast, Brody shared that he was thought about for the role, yet acknowledged he wasn’t on the brink of obtaining it. Not securing the part didn’t faze him, but he offered high praise for Ledger, stating his performance as “unforgettable.
Brody remembered his audition experience for the part, commenting, “Ah, it didn’t quite go my way. The role seemed perfectly tailored for me to perform.
Brody expressed his admiration for Heath’s exceptional performance in that film, stating it was truly memorable and of great beauty. This praise was directed towards the late actor from 10 Things I Hate About You.
On January 5, 2025, the actor affectionately known as “The Brutalist” won his first Golden Globe. He acknowledged director Christopher Nolan for revolutionizing the Batman series, saying, “Actors with an edge are drawn to characters like that, and working with a filmmaker like Christopher Nolan, who brings such depth and vision, is a dream.
Brody highly commended the movie’s lasting impact, labeling it an “amazing” cinematic work that significantly elevated the standard of superhero narratives. Furthermore, he referred to the role as a cherished aspiration.
At the given moment, no one was engaged in anything similar. There was simply nothing comparable to Christopher Nolan’s work at hand. The impact he had on actors during that time was truly groundbreaking. It left me astounded just thinking about it. If I were Heath, I would have considered that role a dream come true. And I believe he felt the same way.
Apart from Adrien Brody, Joaquin Phoenix had conversations with Nolan about playing the Joker, but he wasn’t prepared for it at the moment as he shared in an interview with Variety. However, he eventually took on the role in a unique version of the character in the movie Joker (2019) and its sequel, which have garnered widespread praise from critics.
