You can never go wrong with Brendan Gleeson, which is why it’s great to hear he’s joined the cast of Joker 2 alongside Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga and Zazie Beetz.
As per Deadline, there’s no word on what character Brendan will play in the movie, but production is set to get underway this December with a view for an October 4th 2024 release date. Over two years away…
Todd Phillips is returning to direct and also co-wrote the script with Scott Silver, who penned the original. Not many concrete details about the sequel although word is it will have ‘musical’ elements and will also be set in Arkham Asylum, which is where the first film ended after Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) was sent there.
Given how Brendan Gleeson is awesome is literally anything you put him in, I cannot wait to find out who he will be playing in Joker 2. Dr Hugo Strange maybe? Harvey Bullock? Or maybe a warden or security guard in Arkham or something. Surely he couldn’t be Batman, could he? Although that would be pretty hilarious.
Joker: Folie à Deux isn’t the only Brendan Gleeson flick we’ve got to look forward to. Just the other week they dropped the trailer for ‘The Banshees Of Inisherin’ where he stars alongside Colin Farrell:
Can’t wait for that one. The more Gleeson the merrier!
For the time Matthew Perry said he could’ve played The Joker in Dark Knight, click HERE. That would’ve been.. something.
