Usred izvješća o sve većim unutarnjim previranjima o tome kako nastaviti posustalu DC franšizu, Warner Bros. je procurio video nadolazećeg filma koji već stvara kontroverze — samostalnog, “mračnijeg”, “surovijeg” filma o Jokerovom podrijetlu u kojem naslovnu ulogu igra Joaquin Phoenix.
Odabir Phoenixa za ulogu stvorio je neke glasine, ne samo zbog glumčevih glumačkih sposobnosti, već zbog toga što je Jared Leto još uvijek predviđen za povratak u ulozi Jokera kojeg je utjelovio u filmu “Suicide Squad”. Međutim, film u kojem će glumiti Phoenix, a koji će režirati Todd Phillips, biti će zaseban od ostalih DC filova, koji su, poput Marvelove serije, dizajnirani da se presjecaju.
Kao što navodi Hollywood Reporter, očekuje se da samostalni Joker film “odstupi od tradicionalnog Batmanovog kanona”, sa još više uznemirujućim prikazom serijskog ubojice. Film će također imati znatno manji budžet od svojih blockbusterskih kolega, navodno samo 55 milijuna dolara.
Iako su neki obožavatelji bili skeptični u vezi još jednoga filma s Jokerom, rizik koji uzima DC navodi neke ljudi da se nadaju kako će vidjeti uistinu jedinstveni film o superjunaku. Usred glasina, Warner Bros. objavio je slijedeći prvi pogled na Phoenixa u ikonskoj roli:

1) I'm really surprised by how not-at-all-secretive the filming of Todd Phillips' Joker has been.
2) I realllllly think Joaquin Phoenix is gonna give Heath Ledger's performance a run for its money with this one. pic.twitter.com/YSgYBl7C50

This new joker makeup is so brilliant and the outfit is killer.
I kind of like it when he dresses like a gay fashion designer from a demented Dr. Seuss story pic.twitter.com/2Iksy3Mjvn— 🇺🇸😈Miss London😈🇺🇸 (@kissmisslondon) September 24, 2018

Yes definitely, also it looks like they’re taking some similarities from previous jokers. pic.twitter.com/Fns4Qud9OD
