JOKER trailer

Share

The long-awaited film tells the origin story of the iconic comic book villain, the Joker. Joaquin Phoenix stars as the villain.

This is the first time we have seen Phoenix properly as the clown and he looks very fit for the job.

We are first introduced to Arthur Fleck, a struggling comedian who makes his money dressed as a clown, holding up signs on the sidewalk.

Unlike many other portrayals of the clown, this follows his decline from adorable son to criminal.

We then see him beaten by thugs before saying, “Is it me or are things getting crazier out there?”

Little by little, he seems to be losing control.

The final shot is of Fleck in full Joker mode. He steps into an elevator and giving a menacing grin as the doors slide shut.

It’s directed by Todd Phillips and comes out on the 4th of October!
