As per a report in Looper, back in the day when just the basic details about Joker made headlines, it was Martin Scorsese’s name that grabbed all the possible attention. The filmmaker was listed among the producers of the film. This was surprising because the filmmaker was always known for keeping his distance from superhero movies. This however created speculations that the movie might be starring his long-time collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio in the leading role.

But there are no concrete confirmations about the same. But it was Todd Phillips who had later said that Joker was always made for Joaquin Phoenix and not for Leonardo DiCaprio ever. Stay tuned to Koimoi for more.
