Bella Ramsey reveals she wants to star as Batman villain The Joker: 'I haven't played a baddy before!'
Bella Ramsey wants to play The Joker in her next role.
The actress, 20, admitted that she is yet to play a villain and thinks that the infamous arch-nemesis of superhero Batman in the DC Universe would be the part for her.
Bella, who is non-binary and uses she/they pronouns, told LadBible: 'I've not really played a villain yet. So I want to play a baddy. But like a really interesting, intricate, complex baddy.'
When asked about playing the DC villain, Bella admitted that stepping into the shoes of other actors like Joaquin Phoenix and Jared Leto would be something she would be up for.
She said: 'Yeah. I was actually thinking that as well. The Joker, someone really interesting like that'

Bella clarified which pronouns she prefers on Instagram in October.
She clarified her view, saying she 'doesn't mind' which pronouns are used.
'Hello! Just wanna clarify something! As per the og New York Times article… I don’t mind which pronouns you use for me, I never wanted it to be a big deal...
'Call me she, call me they, call me he, call me however you see me. You cannot go wrong! It’s impossible to misgender me. This is the last I will talk about gender stuff for a while. Thanks for your support!'
Bella starred in Lena Dunham's movie, Catherine Called Birdy.
The Last Of Us star actually received her breakout role as Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones at the age of 13 before going on to star in the title role of Mildred Hubble in the CBBC series The Worst Witch.
Following her portrayal of a drug-addicted inmate in prison drama series Time earlier this year opposite former Doctor Who actress Jodie Whittaker, she was named as one of the 42 people on this year's BAFTA Breakthrough list.
Speaking of the honour, she said: 'It's, it's a big honour. I think the word like BAFTA comes with so much prestige.
'Which is quite weird that I'm now associated with that. But really lovely. And yeah, an honour, I'm excited'.
The Nottingham-born star went on to reflect on her time in the industry, noting how she and her parents had made the conscious decision to keep her out of the public eye at such a young age.
She said: 'I actually think that my journey through the industry has been done in a way that I'm really pleased about.'

She added: 'Like, I think we chose the right route in terms of when Game Of Thrones, everything started coming out.
'We chose the route of doing absolutely nothing, do like no interviews, give no personal information, just like it was so terrifying.
'While my parents were so terrified that we just sort of kept everything very private, barely did any interviews, like three phone call interviews.
'And I'm really proud of that. And I'm really glad that I was up until The Last Of Us, like I was fairly anonymous, even though I've done like, other work
