Matthew McConaughey
If McConaughey were to take on the role, it is of the utmost important that we get True Detective and Dallas Buyers Club McConaughey. It seems that in the last few years, Matty has gone from cheesy romcom guy to seriously amazing actor without so much as blinking an eye. Though we’ve had several hints of his greatness early on in his career, he really seems to shine in the darker and more complex roles that he is given.
So, stop for a moment in time with me and imagine McConaughey delivering one of his killer monologues in white face paint with a perma-grin stretched across his face? Don’t even act like it wouldn’t be awesome, because we all know it would be. The dude would barely even have to change his voice. He would just have to take some of the southern twang out of it.
For anyone who is reading this and shaking their heads, go watch Killer Joe right fucking now (or check out the clip below). It will prove my point to you, without question. Also, to those who want to factor in age and say maybe he is too old, remember that Ben Affleck is 42, so we have NO idea if they will cast the Joker old or young.
