Though the film's plot is under wraps, the post suggests it will be an origin story that starts further back than we've ever seen The Joker on screen. But Phoenix's performance is the one aspect I'm least anxious about - this "crime drama" take on a classic villain still perplexes me even as new set photos and first looks start rolling out. "I wouldn't say it's a superhero movie, or a studio movie or a..." It's believed that the aforementioned talent agency is run by Marc Maron's character in the Joker film. The Joker is still scheduled to release on October 4 of next year, so it doesn't seem to be a casting issue they are too anxious about.
