I actually feel Joquin Phoenix is a talented actor. More so than Jared Leto and perhaps (dare I say) Heath Ledger. Phoenix has a broader acting range and Inthink he will do angood job representing the Joker character. Sometimes I still dislike him in movies over his role as emperor Comodus (was it that) in The Gladiator. He did such a good bad guy role there. Almost on par with King Joffrey in Game of Thrones.
I would say Pheonix is a more talented actor than Heath Ledger, let’s not forget that Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker was a total dark horse. No one expected him to do what he did with that role. He gave it his all and it took everything from him.
If he was still alive and had more time to get bigger roles, I think he would be considered more talented than Phoenix, but going off of what he did prior to the Dark Knight, I have to say Pheonix just has a better history of good acting. Ledger was good, not great, in every role prior to the Joker.
Also, Leto was great in Requiem for a Dream, but I havent liked many of his other movies. I’m still excited for the Morbius movie coming out, though.
I watched him only in walk the line and that was a great movie so I’m looking forward to this I like how the trailer doesn’t give much away and I’ve actually never watched a joker movie so I’m in for something new
The only one to do that so far has been Jared Leto and I’m going back to Cesar Romero. Expecting to like the Phoenix version as he never delivers anything less than perfection.
