Jack Nicholson is ‘furious’ Heath Ledger is playing the Joker in the new
Batman movie.
The 70-year-old actor, who starred as the villainous trickster in the 1989
film ‘Batman’, was livid he wasn’t asked to reprise his role for ‘The Dark
Knight’.
When asked how he felt about another actor playing the Joker,
replied: “I’m furious. I’m furious. [He laughs.] They never asked me about a
sequel with the Joker. I know how to do that! Nobody ever asked me.
“It’s like, in any area, you can’t believe the reasons things do or don’t
happen. Not asking me how to do the sequel is that kind of thing. Maybe it’s
not a mistake. Maybe it was the right thing, but to be candid, I’m .”
The Oscar-winning star also revealed he felt destined to play the Joker from
childhood when he fell in love with the DC comic book series.
He added to MTV: “Well, the Joker comes from my childhood. That’s how I got
involved with it in the first place. It’s a part I always thought I should
play.”
Nicholson doubts he will want to see Ledger in the role when the movie is
released next summer.
He said: “I’m not inclined to watch the movie because of what I said. But if
it’s a good movie, I’ll catch up with it somewhere.”
