Joaquin Phoenix opened up about doing the \u2019Joker\u2019 origin movie with director Todd Phillips, saying the role «scares» him, but in a good way.<\/b>
\nMere days after the Joaquin Phoenix-starring Joker origin film from The Hangover and War Dogs director Todd Phillips was made official, the actor opened up about the role in a new interview with Collider. This wasn\u2019t the first time the actor had responded to reports that he would be playing the iconic Batman villain in a standalone film, but now that Warner Bros. has signed off on it, it seems Phoenix was more than willing to discuss it. He was especially willing to point out how much the role \u201cscares\u201d him.
\u201cIt feels unique, it is its own world in some ways, and maybe, mostly, it scares the fucking shit out of me or something. It might as well be the thing that scares you the most,\u201d said the actor. He also claimed that he\u2019d been thinking about doing something like this for a long time:
Phoenix concluded by emphasizing that Phillips\u2019 Joker movie wasn\u2019t a \u201csuperhero movie, or a studio movie,\u201d but something far more \u201cunique.\u201d Not only because of the director\u2019s commitment to the film, but because of the pair\u2019s desired approach. \u201cI think, underneath the excitement of these films, and the size of them, there are these incredible characters that are dealing with real life struggles. And sometimes that is uncovered and exposed, and sometimes it isn\u2019t,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were characters in comics that were really interesting and deserve the opportunity to be kind of studied.\u201d
Your move, Leto .
