Well, fan-artists are going to love this shot! Joaquin Phoenix is currently at the Deauville American Film Festival and this shot of the actor flashing a smile has already started going viral. As you can see, it shows his new, gaunt appearance along with an inadvertently creepy grin which could very well give us our best idea yet of what he's going to look like as the Clown Prince of Crime in the DC Comics movie.
Joker is actually set to start production later this week and while we have no idea when an official shot of the actor as the villain will be unveiled, there's a very good chance he'll spend most of this origin story not wearing the iconic makeup, so it's a safe that we might be waiting a long time for that.
We'll see, though, because there's a chance Warner Bros. could end up surprising us. If nothing else, they can probably be certain that our first look at Phoenix as the Batman villain won't be anywhere near as controversial as when they unleashed that shot of Jared Leto and his tattoos from Suicide Squad. When do you think we might get an official reveal? Let us know your thoughts down below.
