The makers of the highly-anticipated film ‘Joker’ released the trailer of the film on Wednesday and the super-villainy madness of the clown will surely give you goosebumps!
The 2 minutes 24 seconds trailer chronicles the life of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a failed stand-up comedian whose career failures turn him into a villain of a corrupt Gotham City. The trailer gives a glance at the entire new take on the villain’s ever-elusive origin story.
Joaquin, who faces rejection in his career and gets mocked by people, slowly turns into a maniac as a famous titular clown we all know.
In the fascinating trailer, the clown encounters with everyone from Robert De Niro who plays the role of a mysterious TV host and even with Brett Cullen’s Thomas Wayne who was glimpsed briefly as he takes a swing at the Joker. The clip shows Fleck rise from a man beaten and sidelined by a cruel world around him to the seeming catalyst for a clown-mask-clad revolution.
In the end, Joaquin who becomes successful in his career gets invited by De Niro for a show demands to be called as a ‘Joker’ in front of the audience.
Apart from Joaquin, the film will also star Dante Pereira-Olson, who will play the young Bruce Wayne, and Douglas Hodge, who will essay the role of the butler Alfred Pennyworth.
