After earning acclaim for his turn as Sam Sylvia in the first two seasons of Netflix's wrestling series GLOW, actor/comedian Marc Maron is in talks to join the cast of Todd Philips' Joker movie.

According to Variety, Maron would play "a booking agent on Robert De Niro’s talk show who plays a part in booking Phoenix’s character, and eventually causes him to go mad and become the Clown Prince of Crime."

It sounds like those comparisons to Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy were certainly earned.

The trade also stresses that Jared Leto is still on board as the DCEU/Worlds of DC incarnation of the iconic Batman villain, and Joaquin Phoenix's take is being envisioned as a one-off, standalone picture.

Phillips will co-write and direct the Warner Bros. film, which is currently set to hit theaters on Oct. 4, 2019.

@DirkLargepeck - Sounds like it might be something like that. Basically The King of Comedy.

He would be a great addition. He's been the best part of GLOW, to me.

Comedians being hired for this film makes sense - I haven't really seen much from Maron other than his show on IFC.

Yeah this is funny since he's started his last few podcasts badmouthing comic book movie fans.

It got so bad that I unsubscribed for him podcast and stopped following him on all socmed.

Fook that guy. He was much funnier when he was miserable.

@Gentfx -
Well, comic book fans have been terrible these last few years. They were cool for a hot minute, then they started showing their asses and reminding everyone why they were put at the wedding table way in the back near the restrooms.
