Last year, Todd Phillips 's "Joker" immediately went viral as soon as it was released. It not only became a hot movie of the awards season, but also the highest-grossing R-rated film in history.
However, when it was filmed, Warner was skeptical about the success of the film, so he chose to co-finance and shoot with several other companies, which eventually led to them being divided up a large amount of profits.
Nonetheless, given that "The Flash" is about to introduce the multiverse into the DCEU, the Joker (real name Arthur Fleck) played by Jackie Phoenix will technically become a part of official history, and the situation has now changed.
Not only that, shortly after the movie was released, there were rumors on the Internet that Arthur in the film was not a real clown, and that the real "crime prince clown" would appear somewhere else in the future.
Allegedly, Warner has provided Oscar winner Jacques Phoenix with $50 million in compensation and asked him to play the clown again in the next two sequels. Currently, according to internal sources, Warner plans to launch multiple clowns and invite Kim Carey to play one of the versions.
Insiders say that in Warner's plan, Arthur is just the prototype of the Joker, not the one who will become Batman's mortal enemy. In the sequel, we will see several different clowns after the troublesome characters in "Joker" become "idols" unimaginably.
At the same time, the company plans to invite Kerry to play the role of an elderly clown. However, he is not a real clown, just another person inspired by the clown.
Of course, for Kim Carey, who has already appeared in "Batman Forever", if the script is appropriate, he can also contribute wonderful performance in the drama. If he can make adjustments, he may be able to achieve a breakthrough when he plays the clown this time.
