Actor Jack Kesy will take on a major role playing the titular hero in Hellboy: The Crooked ManAfter the experience of bringing that character to life, Kesy is intrigued by the idea of playing DC's most iconic supervillain again.
In an interview with Geek Vibes Nation to talk about Hellboy: The Crooked ManKesy was asked which comic book character he would ideally like to play next. After some thought, Kesy chose The Joker, Batman's arch-nemesis and one of the most recognizable characters in comic book history. Kesy explained that this is because he knows it would be an incredibly challenging role to play, acknowledging how Heath Ledger gave an iconic performance in The dark Knight shortly before his tragic death.

The director of the previous Hellboy reboot shares his honest thoughts on the ill-fated film that found a new audience five years later.
Kesy said: “The joker. Because it's challenging, it's difficult, it's like a big deal, you know, obviously with the history of what happened to [Heath Ledger]. There's a lot of darkness around him, but he's just an inspiring character. I like to be challenged.”

Hellboy: The Crooked Man It's not Kesy's first comic book movie role, as the actor previously played Black Tom Cassidy in the 2018 film Game of the Dead 2. He has yet to play a DC character, but could potentially do so with a role in Peter Safran and James Gunn’s newly created DCU. The role of Joker in the new cinematic universe has yet to be cast, so Kesy could very well get a chance to audition for the part. Of course, a legendary role like the Clown Prince of Crime will always be highly sought after in Hollywood, so the competition will be immense.
