DEADPOOL 2 Actress Zazie Beetz Is In Talks 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.

@ShogunOfSorrow - Funny how people on the internet and even on this site were against the idea of her playing Domino. Now she's considered one of the best parts of DP2.

Zazie Beetz was f**king awesome as Domino as well as having one of the coolest names ever. She needs to be in more movies.

Had the deck stacked against her as Domino and became a break out star maybe she sees something here too.

The report described, "Supporting female (27-34) to play African American or to play Latina. Not beautiful..."

Not beautiful??????

@BlackBeltJones - She's gorgeous, but I guess not "conventionally" gorgeous which is probably good enough for them.

I could watch a Domino movie. It will be interesting to see how Disney handles the Deadpool cast.
