The picture , which has as bit of an Andy Kaufman vibration to it , show Phoenix as the Joker presumptively before his Clown Prince - ification . The spot , which also predict the fictional character “ Arthur , ” sustain reports that the Joker ’s substantial name in the film will be Arthur Fleck .

If you require more looks at Pheonix ’s Joker , some determined photoshave surfacedof Phoenix in this get - up sprout some scenes with a more traditional clown . He boops him . It ’s cute . For , uh , sure variations of cute .

The film , which is supposed to be an line of descent story for the villain , star Joaquin Phoenix ( anddefinitely notAlec Baldwin ) and isset to releaseOctober 4 , 2019 .
