Barry Keoghan really wants a part in Taika Waititi's Star Wars movie. After two brooding installments in Marvel's Thor series were met with mixed reception, the New Zealand filmmaker came along and revitalized the sub-franchise with his own signature irreverent style. Waititi was then brought back to write and direct Thor: Love and Thunder, which was not as critically acclaimed as Ragnarok.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Waititi made his Star Wars debut as a director and voice actor on The Mandalorian season 1. Afterward, he was tapped by Lucasfilm to direct a Star Wars movie that he would co-write with 1917's Krysty Wilson-Cairns. With Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron removed from the Lucasfilm release schedule, Waititi's untitled Star Wars movie is next in the pipeline of upcoming theatrical projects.
Who Barry Keoghan Could Play In Star Wars Though he only appears briefly in The Batman during the film's final moments, credited as "Unseen Arkham Prisoner," a deleted scene revealed more of Keoghan's incredible take on the Joker. Last year, the Irish actor starred in Eternals as one of the titular superheroes, Druig. His role in the Marvel movie does slightly increase his chances of making the jump to Star Wars.
Waititi’s Star Wars movie will focus on a completely new story and characters in a galaxy far, far away. Therefore, it is incredibly difficult to speculate about who Keoghan could possibly play, though his incredible range would allow him to portray both a hero or a villain in Star Wars. Keoghan played a menacing villain in The Batman and an aloof superhero in Eternals.
That movie is NEVER going to happen. And IF it does, it will be a TOTAL FAILURE
By now he's just embarrassing himself. Dude's trying hard to cash as many movies as possible.
Barry Keoghan a good actor but there's multiple stories about what he wants to play like no offence but that's not news. Just tell us if he has a part or not. 🙄
