JOKER

Todd Philips’s upcoming Joker movie has received mixed reactions from test screenings, some websites are calling out Philips and DC for glorifying violence, while others are praising Phoenix for an “Oscar Worthy” performance. The movie focuses on a standalone darker universe with no connections with the DC Extended Universe. The movie explores failing stand-up comedian Arthur Fleck, who eventually snaps due to a broken society. The movie will be Released on the fourth of October, 2019, with an official R rating. the movie looks absolutely Incredible and is tracking for an 85-90 million dollar opening weekend, which may shatter the October box office record. Unfortunately Phoenix doesn’t have plans for a sequel (as of now).
