So Warner Bros. Wants a 43-Year-Old Joaquin Phoenix For Their Standalone JOKER Origin Movie



According to Variety, actor Joaquin Phoenix is being targeted to star in the Martin Scorsese-produced and Todd Phillips written and directed standalone JOKER movie. At 43-years-old, Phoenix would be portraying an older Joker in this origin film that will not be a part of the DC Extended Universe, which already has actor Jared Leto in the role of the Clown Prince.

"While studio negotiations are not yet underway, Phillips has made it clear that Phoenix is the top choice to star and sources now tell Variety that, after thinking it over, Phoenix has agreed to the role. WB had no comment."

This film will reportedly take place in the 80s as a gritty crime drama movie.
