Starting from 2017’s Logan, where he played Donald Pierce, he now moves forward by playing Corinthian in Neil Gaiman’s latest series, The Sandman. Starring as the bad guy for both live-action comic book films, are there more comic book roles he is eager to play?
Boyd Holbrook as DC’s The Joker?
In a recent interview with Men’s Health, Holbrook revealed that he is not particularly looking for another comic book character to play, but not until he remembered Batman’s arch-nemesis, The Joker. See Holbrook’s comment below:
Boyd Holbrook as Joker? That’s certainly interesting. However, it seems that the likelihood of seeing him donning the Joker suit is highly unlikely, especially now that Matt Reeves introduced The Joker in the form of Barry Keoghan in the recent blockbuster The Batman. Nonetheless, DC must be taking notes now. Warner Bros. can undoubtedly give Holbrook another antagonist role, including Two-Face or Scarecrow.
David Holbrook on Bad Guy vs Good Guy Roles
In the same interview, he was asked if he prefers playing bad guy roles more than being the good guy. According to Holbrook, he is just actively looking for a distinctive role to play and doesn’t really mind whether it is an antagonist or protagonist character.
