First set photos of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker

[Gravity Insanity]

It looks like Joaquin Phoenix has started filming as The Joker for the upcoming standalone film!

The 43-year-old actor was seen with an actual clown on Sunday (September 16) in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. Joaquin was seen laughing in a maniacal manner and honking the clown's nose for the outdoors scene.

The standalone Joker movie is expected to hit theaters on October 4, 2019. Zazie Beetz, Robert De Niro, and more also star.

[Anth0ny]

when does he tattoo his forehead

 

[Dierce]

I dig it.

 

[Strafer]

Amusement Mile? Nice.

 

[KoolAid]

Thought that was Willem Dafoe at first

 

[Arkestry]

Aww, he's just having a grand old time!

 

[Tace]

I don't feel this is necessary

 

[.Detective.]

Oh man, he will be menacing one the standard Joker colours as applied to his face.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

So...it's pre-chemical plant Joker, I guess? I haven't kept up with this film at all because I kinda hate Phoenix.

That's not jared

 

[liquidtmd]

Holy shit they are actually making this?

I thought it would be one of those things that falls apart

I've not been keeping up.

 

[jontin]

I have a good feeling about this.

 

[Deleted member 420]

Why so serious

 

[Neptonic]

I can see it

Totally forgot about this. Those pictures do nothing for me, but Joaquin alone can sell me on a flick.

 

[Masterspeed]

It's been a while since I read it, but that's A Killing Joke, Joker right?

 

[Platy]

Looks better than I hoped ?

I still don't know WHY they are making this but ...

I'll admit he does actually look a lot like the Joker, just without the makeup. But Phoenix's casting was never the concern here.

 

[Dierce]

That's not jared

It says just Jared at the bottom right of each picture. So it must be.

 

[Dust]

I trust Phoenix, dude is masterclass.

 

[latex]

Oh this is happening? Alright.

 

[Visanideth]

Phoenix is probably the best actor associated to the role so I'm in*. Zero faith in WB at this point, but I'm sure he's gonna deliver.



* that includes Nicholson, yes.

 

[Matsukaze]

I will watch this for Zazie.

Okay, what did I miss?

 

[ZeoVGM]

This is actually happening, eh?

 

[.exe]

Oh this could be good. Joaquin definitely has the chops to go all out crazy.

 

[cLOUDo]

I don't know how to feel about this.

All about this proyect sounds awful, but a joker by Joaquin Phoenix is intriguing

 

[Rockstar]

 

[Sanjuro]

He won't get the chance to prove anything.

And I actually don't mind Phoenix, but as the Joker? Feck no.

 

[The Unsent]

Looks better than Leto's one.

 

[Strafer]

Even though I'm against a Joker solo movie I will watch this basely because of Phoneix, fucking love that guy.

 

[M. Wallace]

Nah, I'm out

 

[Deleted member 2802]

looks liek a normal guy

 

[Officer Big Mac]

Demystify the joker is a big mistake I think. But so has nearly the entire DCEU.

 

[Kibbles]

I trust Phoenix, dude is masterclass.

I mean who's directing? Cause WB has some good actors but they get shit material to work with

 

[hjort]

Phoenix might make a good Joker, but I don't see how this movie is necessary. I want the character's origin to be ambigous, but I'm not the biggest Batman buff in the world, so what the fuck do I know.

 

[Ocarina_117]

Cast choices has me sold on this movie, im optimistic about it.

 

[Yams]

This is going to be weird and insane

 

[Z-Beat]

At first glance I thought he was the guy on the right and was about to flip the table. As long as he gets the makeup at some point it looks fine so far.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I don't feel this is necessary

This so much!

What( if any) timeline does this belong to?

 

[The Unsent]

What's Mario doing in it?

 

[Troll]

He should have been doctor strange. That still hurts a little.

 

[Jroc]

Is the DC Cinematic Universe still a thing? Are they just going to take the Fox approach where continuity and canon is constantly changing?

 

[YuYu]

I like what I'm seeing.

 

[Cap G]

Like, divorced from the superhero stuff it's just a story about a guy getting shit on until he snaps and begins slashing people up. That's not an inherently bad thing.

The problem will be if they decide to cram a bunch of dumb comic shit in instead of do their own thing.

 

[jack_package_200]

It's actually happening

 

[suaveric]

I still feel like this is a dumb idea. Having two Jokers at the same time makes no sense. This isn't elseworlds-enough, like a Red Son Superman would be.

 

[Tansut]

If it was anybody but Joaquin Phoenix I'd probably be vehemently against this. But I'm just so curious to see how this ends up.

 

[Crossing Eden]

No white makeup?
