Recently, footage from the production test of the 2019 hit Joker has resurfaced and taken the internet by storm. Fans of Joaquin Phoenix have called him the ‘greatest actor ever’ by watching him transform into his marvelous transformation into the chilling alter ego of Arthur Fleck. In the year 2019, Phoenix’s Joker took the world by storm with his impressive performance based on the DC character Arthur Fleck, who is an aspiring clown but haplessly fails to make a mark. Later, he slumps into mental illness and refuses to take an act of violent revenge against the filthy rice of Gotham City.
Phoenix bagged the highest honor of acting, the Oscar for Best Actor in 2020.
From Phoenix’s admirers to film critics, everyone watching his performance has been awed by his astounding artistry in portraying the sadistic emotions of the failed clown and stand-up comedian.

The film was so well received that, to satisfy the Joaquin enthusiasts, the US-based film production and distribution company Warner Bros. has decided to bring the iconic dramatis personae back to the screen.
Commenting on the snippet circulating online, one fan has remarked, “What I love about this is that it’s just a wardrobe and make-up test, but Joaquin is so in character it doesn’t feel like a production test at all”.
One of the adherents, after his observation of years, has made this remark: “Joaquin Phoenix has got to be one of the greatest actors ever. Since I first saw him in Gladiator, his acting has always been beyond convincing. In the role of Commodus, you can see in his eyes that he carries grief for being rejected by his father his whole life.”
Someone else added, “Joaquin has a unique gift that cannot be taught; either you have it or you don’t… He can appear so vulnerable and make it look natural. His brother was also blessed with a natural talent. I can think of only a handful of actors like this.”
Joker: Folie a Deux is the sequel to the 2019 smash hit and is all set to hit theaters in October next year. The makers of the motion picture have a thunderbolt to intrigue their followers by starring Lady Gaga as the love interest of the ruthless clown.
