Joker Movie: Zazie Beetz In Talks To Join Joaquin Phoenix DC Film

Attachment 12326

Warner Bros' Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix is eying Deadpool 2 actress Zazie Beetz a role in the 2019 DC movie. While the studio is continuing on with what is known unofficially as the DC Extended Universe, Warner Bros. is also planning a series of DC Comics movies not set in that same cinematic universe. The first of these will be Joker, starring Phoenix as the titular Clown Prince of Crime, and The Hangover's Todd Phillips directing. Recently, Warner Bros. officially announced the film and gave Joker a 2019 release date.

While little else about this upcoming Joker standalone film is known, now that it's officially in development and dated for Fall 2019, expect plenty more news to roll in. In fact, Warner Bros. may have something planned to build buzz for the movie at the studio's San Diego Comic-Con 2018 panel later this week. But for now, fans will have to make due with a little bit of casting news as an X-Men universe actress is reportedly in talks to join the Joker movie.

THR reports Deadpool 2's Zazie Beetz is in talks to join Warner Bros' Joker. Though the exact details of her role are still being kept under wraps she is expected to play a single mother who catches the eye of Phoenix's Joker.
