Director Todd Phillips has announced the return of Joker,<\/a> and we\u2019re getting even more excited about it now. On Thursday, Todd Phillips shared the first look<\/a> at Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, who will play Batman\u2019s nemesis in the upcoming sequel. The photo shows a smiling Phoenix, 44, looking like he\u2019s ready to get back into character as Gotham City\u2019s Clown Prince of Crime. \u201cThe filmmaker and his team are still putting the finishing touches on the script,\u201d according to Warner Bros., which produced both films along with DC Entertainment.\u201dI think he\u2019s gonna be incredible in this movie,\u201d Phillips said of Phoenix. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t say that lightly and I say it with a lot of confidence and a lot of certainty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first photo of Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime is a moody black-and-white shot, which shows Phoenix sitting with his face covered by his hands. The caption reads, \u201cYou\u2019ve never heard of me\u2026 but you will,\u201d referencing the Joker\u2019s famous line from Alan Moore and Brian Bolland\u2019s 1988 graphic novel The Killing Joke.<\/p>\n

Todd Phillips shared the image on Instagram Thursday morning, writing alongside it: \u201cAhhhhh! Me and my baby @joaquinphoenix are going to Gotham City. We are so excited to see what that looks like under this cloth over here!!\u201d Though this won\u2019t be a full picture of Phoenix in costume or makeup\u2014that\u2019ll likely come when Warner Bros.\u2019s next DC movie slate is officially revealed at San Diego Comic Con next month\u2014it does give us a glimpse at what Phillips has planned for our favorite villainous clown prince.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe filmmaker and his team are still putting the finishing touches on the script,\u201d according to Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

The studio also revealed that Todd Phillips will direct from a screenplay by Scott Silver (8 Mile) and Todd Hanson (Uncorked). \u201cThe Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux is an exploration of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, as these two super-villains push each other to the breaking point as they try to outdo one another in their quest for supremacy. The story begins after Batman has retired and Gotham City has lost its Dark Knight, who gets replaced by a new hero dubbed Red Hood. As this new hero continues to fight crime with brute strength rather than using his intellect in ways similar to Bruce Wayne, it raises questions about whether he should be considered a vigilante or antihero\u2014especially since he has no interest in saving lives like his predecessor did.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
