‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Nearly Cast Justin Theroux as Joker in the TV Movie That Harley Loves: ‘We Were Going to Shoot a Trailer at One Point’


Justin Theroux almost appeared in 'Joker: Folie à Deux' as Arthur Fleck in a fake TV movie that Lady Gaga's Harley loves.

One of the recurring jokes throughout “ Joker: Folie à Deux ” is whether or not a television movie that was made based on Arthur Fleck’s life and killing spree (the events of the 2019 film) is actually good or not. Lady Gaga’s Harleen “Lee” Quinzel is obsessed with the TV movie, and it clearly played a big role in her idolization of the real Arthur (Joaquin Phoenix). Elsewhere in the IGN interview, Phillips was asked why Phoenix’s Arthur does not sport the Joker’s trademark green hair when he finally puts on all the clown makeup to represent himself in his murder trial.
