12 Actors Who Should Play The Joker In Scorsese's Origin Movie

4. Peter Dinklage

It's probably a little unlikely that Hollywood will get over the hang-ups to cast Game Of Thrones' greatest actor as The Joker, but there is no shaking the idea that such a casting would be absolutely glorious.

Dinklage's English accent in the HBO show might be a little... suspect... at times, but he is a phenomenal dramatic actor with great emotional range (as he's shown in Tyrion's trajectory), and he would absolutely stun as a new take on The Joker.

Go back and watch things like The Station Agent and X-Men: Days Of Future Past, where his small stature is absolutely incidental, and you'll see the gifted actor who came as such a gift to HBO for Thrones. And yes, he might be set to debut in the MCU soon, but there's no reason why Warner Bros can't aim for the stars and try and land him - particularly as he'll presumably have a lot more space in his diary soon.
