We didn't get to see a whole lot from Joker last week but the movie is once again shooting on location in New York and this latest batch of set photos puts the spotlight on a meeting between Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) and Sophie Dumond (Zazie Beetz). Apparently, they were catching up in a doughnut shop but Arthur looks a tad manic in some of the shots so who knows what's really happening here.
Sophie has been described as a hardened single mother who has been beaten down by her time living in Gotham City and many fans believe that she will serve as Arthur's love interest here. Whether or not she breaks his heart and sets him on the path to becoming the Clown Prince of Crime remains to be seen but it would make sense and we have seen photos of him seemingly following or arguing with her.
Are you excited to see Beetz take on this very different role after playing Domino in Deadpool 2? What do you think might be happening in this scene? Feel free to share your theories in the usual place.
