JOKER Movie Adds MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT Actor Alec Baldwin As Thomas Wayne
Some exciting casting news for you guys here, as the trades are reporting that Todd Philips' Joker has added Alec Baldwin to its cast. The Fallout actor will reportedly play Batman's father, Thomas Wayne.
According to Deadline, Alec Baldwin has been added to the cast of Todd Philips' Joker movie, which is scheduled to commence production early next month.
Though Warner Bros. has not confirmed his role, multiple sources are reporting that he'll be playing Bruce Wayne's father, Thomas - although it sounds like the movie will be taking a lot of liberties with the character!
THR mentions that this incarnation of Batman's dear old dad will be depicted as "a cheesy and tanned businessman who is more in the mold of a 1980s Donald Trump" than the fearless patriarch of the Wayne family that was admired by all in the comics.
Joker will star Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime, with Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz and Marc Maron allon board for supporting roles.
