“Joker: Folie à Deux” signs another great star in its cast

Todd Phillips will turn for the second time in the history of Joker, the archenemy of Batman and one of the most important villains of DC Comics. under the title of Joker: Folie a Deuxthe continuation will be starring Oscar winners joaquin phoenix Y Lady Gaga (in the role of Harley Quinn). Now a new star joined the cast and it’s about Brendan Gleeson in a still unknown role.

Apparently, not only his next work in the dramatic comedy The Banshees of Inisherin is going to generate a topic of conversation around the Irish actor, since the sequel to joker It is one of the most anticipated by the public. Phillips’ idea to bring this character back to life will be mainly musical, that is, we will see the protagonists dance and sing as in other productions of this film genre.

For now, nothing is confirmed about whether the Phoenix tape has any link with the extended Universe of (DCEU) and, in fact, his path was created in a very independent way. The plot is set decades before Bruce Wayne assumed the alias of Batman and tells the origin of this Machiavellian personality, showing what his past was like and what led him to become an anarchist in the present.

joaquin phoenix gave life to a version of Arthur Fleck which was very reminiscent of the one we saw in the famous The Killing Joke, although with a very original twist and developed solely for the cinema. The star had to lose weight to characterize the role, as well as getting into this perverse mentality that, according to fiction, was born from her own childhood trauma and the pain of loneliness brought on by her neurodivergence.
