DEADPOOL 2 Actress Zazie Beetz Is In Talks To Join Joaquin Phoenix In The JOKER Movie
Some major comic book movie news straight from the streets of San Diego here! It's just been announced that Deadpool 2 star Zazie Beetz is in negotiations to join Joaquin Phoenix in the Joker movie...
Zazie Beetz is in talks to join the cast of Todd Philips' Joker.
THR broke the news while cautioning that the deal is not finalized yet - but if the Deadpool 2 actress does sign on, she will play "a single mother who catches the interest of the man who will become the Clown Prince of Crime."
Sounds like The Joker is going to have a love interest!
We recently found out that the standalone origin story for the iconic Batman villain had landed a 2019 release date and is scheduled to begin shooting this September, so it's no surprise that the studio is busy locking down the rest of the cast. There's a rumor doing the rounds that Robert De Niro has been confirmed to appear, but we don't have anything solid on that yet.
If Beetz does join Joker, do you think there's a chance she'll play an established DC Comics character? Sound of below.
