Joker
Joaquin Phoenix says he is n’t worried about fan expectations for her performance as the Clown Prince of Crime in theJokermovie . The actor has further emphasized that he is n’t approachingJokeras a superhero amusing book cinema , but rather as a compelling report of a character who just occur to be an iconic Batman villain .
While he ’s been border on for amusing book movie office in the past times , Phoenix has typically head clear of dealership movies to date and instead amaze with primarily offbeat and/or conductor - driven projects ( see his role in next calendar month ’s quirky westernThe Sisters brother , for example ) . As such , most everyone was surprised when Phoenix was report to be circlingJoker , an root movie for the titular supervillain that Todd Phillips ( The Hangovertrilogy , War Dogs ) is place and cowriting .

Perhaps unsurprisingly , the doer is far from concerned with what buff intend about him taking on the Joker persona to commence with :
“ I could give care less . I do n’t really think that much about what hoi polloi suppose . Who cares , who cares ? My approach to every movie is the same . What I ’m interested in is the filmmaker and the melodic theme of the role . ”
Then again , Jokerdoesn’t have to deal with the same kind of expectations that other upcoming DC movies are face , anyway . Since the film is n’t part of theJustice Leaguecontinuity that started withMan of Steelin 2013 , there ’s keen room for Phoenix and Phillips to experiment and push the boundaries of the comic book movie musical genre through their film , without having to be concerned about how its response could touch other DC adaptations in the future . That ’s all the more reason for Phoenix particularly to " not worry " about what masses think - and rather , focus on delivering aJokerperformance thathefeels is worthwhile and satisfying , standing on its own .
