A fresh trailer for the upcoming Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix landed this week and suffice it to say that we are HYPED.
This new preview shows Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (aka The Joker) and debuts a more human side to the anti-hero as he bonds with a love interest, while also showing him embracing his darker alter-ego and the power that comes with it.
In a voiceover, he says: ‘Through my whole life, I didn’t know if I even really existed. But I do. And people are starting to notice.’

When is the Joker release date?
Joker will be hitting cinemas on October 4, 2019.
The film will be R-rated, with director Todd Phillips saying: ‘There’s been a lot of chatter about what this film is and what it isn’t and most of it is not accurate.
‘But it’s expected when you set out to make an origin story about a beloved character who basically has no definitive origin.’
Meanwhile the Oscar-nominated Phoenix has said: ‘We didn’t follow anything from the comic books, which people are gonna be mad about.
‘We just wrote our own version of where a guy like Joker might come from.’
