\"\"Rumor had it that Todd Phillips wanted Robert DeNiro for his\u00a0Joker\u00a0<\/strong>film, and it looks like he might just get him.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> states that DeNiro is in negotiations to star as a talk show host somehow involved in the transformation of Joaquin Phoenix into the Joker. It would be DeNiro’s first comic book film.<\/p>\n

Reports of DeNiro’s involvement in the film began back in June<\/a>, with the release of\u00a0 rumored casting call sheet. DeNiro was rumored to be sought for a character named Murray Franklin. If Franklin turns out to be the talk show host, that will be the second listing from that sheet that came to pass. .<\/p>\n

News of these negotiations follow closely to the new that\u00a0Deadpool 2<\/strong>‘s Zazie Beetz is also in negotiations<\/a> to play \u201ca single mother who catches the interest of the man who will go on to become the \u2018clown prince of crime.\u2019\u201d Per that June casting sheet, that sounds a lot like the description for the character of Sophie Dumond. It looks like ThatHashtagShow.com got some pretty good information back in June.<\/p>\n

More on this as it develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
