Ridley Scott 'didn't like the way [Joker] celebrated violence,' but loved Joaquin Phoenix in the role.
Back in 2020, Joaquin Phoenix won an Academy Award for playing Arthur Fleck/Joker in Todd Phillips' Joker, which is getting a sequel next year. But first, fans of Phoenix can see him playing the titular character in Ridley Scott's Napoleon, which is heading to theaters next month.
Of course, this isn't the first time Scott has worked with Phoenix. The actor also played Emperor Commodus in Scott's Gladiator back in 2000. In Napoleon, Phoenix plays Napoleon Bonaparte with Vanessa Kirby starring as Napoleon's love and future empress, Joséphine. The film also includes Tahar Rahim as French revolutionary leader Paul Barras.
