Superheroes and Star Wars! Those are the stories that took Hollywood by storm this week! Ryan Reynolds as the always hilarious Deadpool appeared in the first official trailer for the sequel, and it was full of fourth wall breaks, inappropriate jokes and of course, the introduction of Cable. The Star Wars universe hired the Game of Thrones showrunners to create a brand new standalone trilogy, so looks like they’ll be trading their Valyrian steel for lightsabers! And finally, Joaquin Phoenix, one of the greatest actors in the business, has agreed to play the iconic role of the Joker in DC’s newest standalone origin film, produced by the great Martin Scorsese! So sit back, relax and enjoy this instalment of The CineFiles, where we count down to week’s biggest news in cinema!

Good idea DC, now we just need Jake Gyllenhaal as Bman and Christopher Nolan back as director and we've got a deal
That guy will play as the Joker
Can't we just stop with the recasts? And Joker Origin movie? Talk about cashing in with the franchise. The movie people really want is a stand-alone Batman film starring Ben Affleck
Mel Gibson raped Elijah wood and Joaquin Phoenix was born
They should just cancel the DCEU
Not sure. Lets see what happens
I think Joaquin would smash it.
No no no no NOOOOOOOOOO
Tom Hardy as the Joker. Make it happen
it’s sad that you guys get like 3.5k per video with over 10 million subscribers
NOoooo!!!
Not him!
Juaqine Phenix sucks!!
DiCaprio anyone?
You have to give Actors a chance and see what they do with a role before you say its a poor choice. People compained when they said Heath Ledger would be the Joker but he proved a lot of people wrong
They are gonna have a it 2 in 2019 Sept 6
Stop asking willian defoe to play Joker . Mostly in his film , he end up dying by getting stab , shot , explode , beheaded etc etc . He plays joker ? He gonna end up in jail and hanging himself there , then all of u gonna moan for him
We're gonna get the best Joker after Ledger then….
DC should take a break for now, they should really take time and craft a film that would do justice to these characters. Plus, their forcing the joker too much, DC should invest in a new villain. The last joker was Hedge ledger, so however plays the next joker has alot of pressure to nail the character right. Overall, DC should take a step back for now.
Since this is an Origin film… that means Joaquin will be acting a normal joker before he became the joker. You probably won't even see him as the actual joker till the last 10 sec of the movie. So don't panic? If that made any Sence sorry:(
Wait, so Leto will remain as the “real” joker in future films? It’s only in this one standalone film that Joaquin Phoenix is being cast? …
AWESOME!! OH GOD PLEASE DONT MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE JARED LETO’S JOKER! PLEASE LOOK SOMETHING LIKE LEDGER’S
If Jared Leto played joker more like his character in Blade Runner 2049 then he would probably be fucking terrifying
I want Samuel l jackson as joker
Jared Leto almost killed the Joker but this mother f*** will
The next joker should be played by Even Peters.
Joaquin Phoenix should play MCU Wolverine
DC Don’t Care. They are going keep pushing out the shit and the sheep are going to keep on lapping it up.
