Joaquin Phoenix made a smart decision.


It's been stated that Phoenix declined to act in the MCU because he would be required to play the roles he was offered in multiple films....which I find to be a very brilliant decision on Phoenix's part, who would want to waste their time on MCU filth any way, lol!

I think he was up for Doctor Strange.

But I can't see him fitting in with that whole thing.

Cumberbatch nailed Dr Strange

Yes he did! I dont think Phoenix would have been nearly as good, his dark side is never far from the surface and it would have dragged a fun film down. I really doubt Phoenix was ever offered a Marvel film, they look for actors with a sense of humor.

This film does seem to be right up the guy's sombre alley.

Why are DCEU fans so insecure over the MCU, are you still butthurt that the MCU destroyed the DCEU? I recall the time Civil War was released DCEU tubbies were convinced BvS would make more and be rated higher haha fun times.

The DCEU is no more , and now doing all it can to copy the MCU formula, DC on the streets , Marvel in the sheets , game set match , game over, insert more coins.

Hey assface I'm not referring to the DCEU, I'm referring to new more mature direction DC movies are taking, I know the DCEU is dead dumbshit and I don't care. I'm glad that the DCEU is buried.

Oh and for the record you can no longer say that Marvel is more mature then DC, this movie deals with a very real problem that we're facing in todays world, and that is mental illness....don't forget Disney is handling the MCU so don't be expecting any mature rated R films anytime soon from this overly family friendly company... game, set, match assface.

PS: it would seem that you are the one who is insecure over this new DC universe, we DC fan are hyped for these new DC movies and there is absolutely nothing you can say or do to change that fact.

NEW MORE MATURE DIRECTION....UM..SO LIKE THE FISHMAN OR THE SUPER LADY WITH A RAINBOW SOLDIER CREW..CAUSE THIS ISNT OUT,AND YOU HAVENT SEEN IT,THUS YOUR COMMENTS ARENT MAKING A LICK OF SENSE.

reply

Oh, you're one of those edgy teenagers that wears dark clothes and think having a movie R rated is super cool, so mature for your age , too cool for school, by the way have you seen joker ?

reply

Actually, DC is making a big comeback, ever since they dumped Snyder and made fun films starring Aquamsn and Wonder Woman.

They may overtake Marvel in time, or not. I keep thinking Marvel has nowhere to go but down, yet they're still staying on top.

reply

I wouldnt say there making a big comeback, but its a hell of a lit better than the likes of BvS and MOS, joker looks very accomplished film making for sure.
