David Dastmalchian has starred in some of Hollywood's biggest film franchises, from the MCU (Ant-Man) and DC (The Suicide Squad) to Denis Villeneuve's Dune universe. However, he still has two dream roles that he hasn't been able to play yet – the Joker, and a Bond Villain.

Talking to Collider during the Saturn Awards last weekend, the actor opened up about his "greatest career dreams", with Joker being on the top of his list.

The actor has an incredibly extensive acting history in the superhero world. After The Dark Knight, he went on to play the Polka Dot Man in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, Kurt Goreshter in the MCU's Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp, Dwight Pollard on Gotham, and Abra Kadabra on The Flash. He has also voiced several DC characters in animation, most notably Calendar Man in the two parts of Batman: The Long Halloween.
