Phoenix admitted that he just wasn\u2019t ready to play the Batman villain when Nolan was developing \u201cThe Dark Knight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI remember I talked to Chris Nolan about \u2018The Dark Knight\u2019 and that didn\u2019t happen for whatever reason,\u201d Phoenix said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t ready then. That\u2019s one of those things where it\u2019s like, \u2018What is in me that\u2019s not doing this?\u2019 And it\u2019s not about me. There\u2019s something else. There\u2019s another person who is going to do something. \u2026 I can\u2019t imagine what it would be if we didn\u2019t have Heath Ledger\u2019s performance in that film, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know whether Christopher Nolan was coming to me saying, \u2018You\u2019re definitely the person.\u2019 I can\u2019t remember the context of how we met, but I know we met,\u201d Phoenix added. \u201cMy feeling was I shouldn\u2019t do this, but maybe he also was like, \u2018He\u2019s not the guy.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLedger\u2019s critically acclaimed performance as the Joker in \u201cThe Dark Knight\u201d posthumously won him the Oscar for best supporting actor. Phoenix would finally be ready to play the Joker for director Todd Phillips in 2019\u2019s \u201cJoker,\u201d which won him the Oscar for best actor. The film was a box office hit with more than $1 billion worldwide and spawned a sequel, this year\u2019s \u201cJoker: Folie \u00e0 Deux\u201d with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. But the sequel bombed with critics and audiences and has only earned $57 million at the domestic box office since opening Oct. 4 in theaters. The sequel\u2019s worldwide total stands at $201 million so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tA recent report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/joker-folie-a-deux-who-blame-dc-1236025585\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THR<\/a> claimed that Nolan had an impact on the original \u201cJoker\u201d movie by allegedly blocking Phillips\u2019 idea to have the film end with Phoenix\u2019s Joker carving a smile into his face. Facial scars are the iconic look of Ledger\u2019s Joker from \u201cThe Dark Knight,\u201d so Nolan reportedly didn\u2019t want that repeated by Phoenix. However, \u201cFolie \u00e0 Deux\u201d ends with a character carving a smile into his face, which Phillips was allegedly allowed to do now that Nolan is no longer in business with Warner Bros.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tListen to Phoenix\u2019s full interview on \u201cTetragrammaton with Rick Rubin\u201d in the video below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joaquin Phoenix\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nJ_U-BBpLTw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/film\/news\/joaquin-phoenix-joker-christopher-nolan-dark-knight-1236192870\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joaquin Phoenix revealed for the first time during a recent interview on \u201cTetragrammaton with Rick Rubin\u201d that he was approached to play the Joker by Christopher Nolan for 2008\u2019s \u201cThe &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=119590\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=119590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119590\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=119590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=119590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=119590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
