An ensemble piece where Keoghan once again shines. Not playing a villain for a change (or certainly not a typical one), Keoghan’s picture of Spencer is of a young man craving drama caught up in a plan so dumb it barely even seems real. Keoghan plays Spencer, one of the two who initially fantasize about the heist, with Evan Peters as Warren. The film delves into the psychology of these otherwise squeaky clean young men and what drove them to the central event. The plan is so wild that it’s fascinating they could possibly ever think it would work. It’s the story of a group of privileged college students who decide to rob a library. American Animals (2018)īart Layton’s followup to his groundbreaking documentary The Imposter is a curious mix of truth and fiction, dramatizing a true crime case with actors as well as using the real people alongside them. And at the heart of those scholarly pretensions is Keoghan’s smug, and ultimately terrifying, smirk.

In director Yorgos Lanthimos’ first full English-language horror movie, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Keoghan at first glance appears to play a tragic but disturbed lad named Martin. Here might be the first movie to make Reeves consider Keoghan for the role of Joker. One of the few on this list! The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) George is a good kid who wants to prove his mettle, and it’s a bittersweet but noble turn from Keoghan. It’s for that reason we here at Den of Geek have compiled the handy dandy list of previous projects you’ve seen the newest iteration of Gotham’s court jester. and director Matt Reeves released a second, deleted scene in which Keoghan’s Joker has his first on-screen confrontation with Robert Pattinson’s Batman.ĭespite being only 29 years old, Keoghan has already amassed quite the career of playing weirdos and outsiders, and probably in more than one movie that you’ve seen. Something which became all the more apparent after Warner Bros. But that is unmistakably the Joker who consoles Paul Dano’s Riddler about his plan going sideways, just as it’s unmistakably Barry Keoghan giving a very Barry Keoghan-like spin on the character. He even has little in common with the last Joker to have a major appearance in a Batman movie, the unforgettable Heath Ledger. With his intensely disfigured facial scars and green hair he stands a long way from either Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscar winning Mistah J or the one portrayed by Jared Leto in Suicide Squad. Indeed, as soon as The Batman opened in theaters last month, almost the entire internet chatter was about that cameo where out of seemingly nowhere, Barry Keoghan showed up under heavy prosthetics as an unnamed Arkham Asylum inmate. Despite being the third actor to play the role inside of six years, it’s no small thing to portray the Clown Prince of Crime.
