DC fans can get ready for the return of the Joker, as the filming of the highly anticipated Joker 2 has officially begun in Los Angeles. The sequel to the 2019 hit film, which grossed over a billion dollars worldwide, promises to be just as exciting as the first one with Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as the Clown Prince of Crime. And now, a new set video has surfaced, giving fans a glimpse of what’s in store for them in the upcoming movie.
In the set video, we see Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker being chased by two other individuals dressed as Joker. While it’s unclear who these individuals are, they could either be followers of the Joker or The Clown Prince himself, as his mind continues to break down. It’s possible that this may not even make it to the final cut of the film, but it’s certainly an intriguing concept that has fans excited.
