- Known for playing Loki in the Marvel Studios film "Thor"
- Won 2013 MTV movie award for Best Villain for role in "The Avengers"

Rumours are flowing through the internet about actor Tom Hiddleston as many believe that he might soon be chosen as the next villain in the movie "Batman v. Superman". The actor has earned much critical acclaim and love from fans for his amazing performance as Loki in the Avengers movies in which he has arguably stolen most of the scenes he has been involved in and left some of the most memorable impressions on movie viewers.

While the rumours have not been substantiated entertainment insiders have noted that eventually in the Dark Knight series there will be a need for the Joker to make his presence felt in the movie and while Heath Ledger was incredible as the Joker in the movie there is no one that doubts the ability of the 2013 winner of the MTV movie award for the Best Villain to be spectacular in this role.

One of the things that makes the rumour about Tom Hiddleston potentially playing the role of Joker so juicy and appealing is that despite the movie role having been played by Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson there is complete confidence within entertainment insiders that he will be able to provide a different outlook of the character.

Henry Cavill: Is Man Of Steel an Oscar contender?

YAHOO
By Gregory Wakeman | Yahoo Contributor Network – Wed, Dec 18, 2013 17:24 GMT

Gravity,' 'Inside Llewyn Davis' and '12 Years A Slave,' have wowed critics and audiences alike over the last 12 months to almost universal levels of acclaim. But this hasn't stopped 'Man Of Steel', despite its comparatively mixed reception, from launching its own For Your Consideration page ahead of the upcoming awards season.

Warner Bros. are now hoping that it will compete in a number of categories at the Critics Choice, Golden Globes, Writer & Directors Guild of America and Academy Awards ceremonies over the next few months.



These include the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Visual Effects, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling sections.

They also fancy a dabble in the acting sections too, with Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishbourne and Russell Crowe all expected to contest in these sections.

But what chance does it have of actually competing for any of these accolades?

Personally, I can't see 'Man Of Steel' stemming the snobbish tide that has seen superheroes ignored by the Academy Awards and its various competitors over the last 13 years.

Since 'X-Men' legitimised the genre in 2000, 38 films have received just 22 nominations at the Oscars, going on to win a paltry 3 awards. And most of them were for the less respected gongs too.

The only successes came courtesy of 'The Dark Knight's' Sound Editing, Visual Effects and Heath Ledger's iconic portrayal as The Joker, which, even though it was obviously brilliant, rode a sympathetic wave to glory a year after his untimely passing. This is despite the fact that superheroes have dominated the cinematic landscape over the last decade and a half.

Michelle Williams' little lady Matilda looks just like her late father Heath Ledger By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

At six years old, Michelle Williams' daughter Matilda is now quite the little lady.

And as she ages, she looks even more like her late father, Heath Ledger.

But it seems she has inherited the My Week With Marilyn star's flair for fashion.


Matilda is displaying a healthy affection for clothes, just like the exquisitely turned out Oscar nominee.

Both showed off their varying tastes over the weekend while strolling around their neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York.

While the My Week With Marilyn star plays with colour in subtle ways, her daughter, like most little girls, seems to have the mentality that more colour, the merrier.

Christian Bale Gets Emotional Seeing Heath Ledger In 'Dark Knight' Montage By John Mitchell (MTV)

The cast of "The Dark Knight Rises" took the stage at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards to introduce an exclusive clip from the hotly anticipated summer blockbuster, but things took an unexpectedly emotional turn following a montage of director Christopher Nolan's first two "Batman" films, which included scenes of the late Heath Ledger's iconic performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight."


At the clip's conclusion, Christian Bale, flanked by his co-stars Gary Oldman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, stepped up to the mic and said, "Wow, great to remember Heath at that moment. Wonderful to see Heath Ledger there."

The Oscar-winning actor then lowered his head and appeared to get choked up as the audience applauded for Ledger, who died in January 2008 at age 28 from an acute intoxication from the combined effects of several prescription medications. A few months after his passing, "The Dark Knight" arrived in theaters to critical acclaim and enormous box-office success.

Dark Knigh unused Heath Ledger footage surfaes (MTV)

With "The Dark Knight Rises" almost upon us—and by almost I mean a criminally long seven months away—most of our attention has gone to Bane, Batman's new nemesis played by Tom Hardy. But while we're busy obsessing over Bane's strange voice and the will-he or won't-he back-breaking issue, there's one thing we can be absolutely certain about: Bruce Wayne's greatest foe, The Joker, is already behind us.

Many fans will agree that Heath Ledger's Joker, played to Oscar-winning heights by the late actor, remains the single greatest villain ever to appear in a Batman movie. Though we've seen the last of his interpretation of the Clown Prince of Crime, some unused "Dark Knight" footage of Ledger as the Joker has started making the rounds again thanks to Kevin Smith's always entertaining Twitter feed.

This isn't exactly new, but hey, it's a slow week, and any chance to spend more time with Ledger's Joker is a chance we'll take. Check it out after the jump.






Thanks to Slash Film for pointing this out.

Tell us what you think of the unused Ledger footage in the comments section and on Twitter!
