Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is back on the streets of New York City.
On Wednesday, Phoenix, 48, was spotted filming scenes for the upcoming movieJoker: Folie à Deuxin the Bronx, where he appeared on a sidewalk wearing a gray suit and faded makeup for his character.
Phoenix, who won an Oscar for his performance as Arthur Fleck, aka the Joker, in the 2019 filmJoker, was previously spotted wearing a similar costume as he filmed scenes in downtown Los Angeles on March 4.
In one set of photos released at that time, the actor was captured running down the street — as was another man, looking the full Joker part in a red-and-yellow suit, full face of clown makeup and green hair.
