Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin Phoenix | Joker

Joker Trailer (Details)

“My mother always tells me to smile and put on a happy face,” the character says in voiceover, as it shows him helping bathe his mother (Frances Conroy). “She told me I had a purpose, to bring laughter and joy to the world.”

He ends up getting attacked in the street, an incident that seems to move him down a dark path. “Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?” Arthur says.

The trailer shows him progressively trying out different Joker outfits, first dressing as a clown with a green afro and eventually dying his hair green for the trailer’s money shot of him in full costume. “I used to think my life was a tragedy,” he says. “But now I realize, it’s a comedy.”
