Kristen Stewartis game for any part — with one exception.
The actress, 31, appeared onVariety’sAwards Circuitpodcast on Wednesday, where she was asked whether she’d ever play the Joker after fans launched an internet campaign to cast her in the role oppositeRobert Pattinson’s Batman. The two stars dated from 2009 to 2012.
“I love the energy behind that but, dude, it’s really been done so well,” Stewart said. “I mean, I love that gusto. Let’s figure something else out. I’m totally down to play a freaky, scary person.”
When asked if she was against it, Stewart said, “Not ‘no,’ but not the most stoked I’ve ever been. Let’s do something new.”

The film is set over the course of a weekend in December 1991, when Diana joined the royal family for Christmas at the Sandringham Estate and decided to leave her fractured marriage.
“Spencer is a dive inside an emotional imagining of who Diana was at a pivotal turning point in her life,” Stewart previously explained. “It is a physical assertion of the sum of her parts, which starts with her given name: Spencer. It is a harrowing effort for her to return to herself, as Diana strives to hold onto what the name Spencer means to her.”
