Barry Keoghan made a cameo at the end of The Batman as the Joker but the actor said he originally wanted to play The Riddler.

Barry Keoghan has shared his audition tape that landed him the role of the Joker in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman.”

It’s been about seven months since the release of “The Batman” in theaters. And upon seeing the film, one of the most talked about scenes involves a tease for a new version of Joker played by none other than Barry Keoghan.

Zack Sharf Barry Keoghan showed up at the very end of Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” to show off a laugh that heavily suggested he was a new iteration of the Joker. Then came the official release of an extended deleted scene from the film that confirmed his Joker casting. But it turns out Keoghan never planned to become the new Joker. Instead, he sent in an unsolicited audition tape to Reeves’ team to play the Riddler when he heard about “The Batman” for the first time. The audition tape has finally been released in an official capacity online, courtesy of Keoghan via GQ UK (watch it in the video below). “I wanted to be Riddler,” Keoghan told the publication, adding that a “Batman” producer informed him not long after he sent the tape in that the role of Riddler had already been filled (first by Jonah Hill, then by Paul Dano). Four months later, the actor got a call with a different request to star in “The Batman.”

British GQ on Monday, the star of “Eternals,” “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” and “Dunkirk” revealed he sent in an unsolicited audition tape or screen test of him dressed as The Riddler. At the time he made the video, Jonah Hill had been cast to play the villain (the role ultimately went to Paul Dano).
