The final trailer for the highly anticipated `Joker` is out now, with Todd Phillips massively upping the ante on the stand-alone DC project. The trailer contains new footage, with a larger look at the characters other than Phoenix`s infamous anti-hero.

Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is a man ignored, spat upon by society. He has a macabre laugh and negative thoughts. All he has is his negative thoughts and is slowly losing his sanity. Society is no friends to him, be it civilians, rich people or talk show hosts-everyone seems to kick him when he`s down. Soon, something inside him is unleashed as he becomes a messiah to the entire city.

`Joker` is directed by Todd Philips (The Hangover Trilogy) and written by Todd Philips and Scott Silvers. It stars Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Marc Maron, Brian Tyree Henry, Shea Wingham, Bill Camp, and Robert De Niro.

Being described as an entirely different take on the genre, `Joker` is an original standalone origin story of the iconic villain not seen before on the big screen, it`s a gritty character study of Arthur Fleck, a man disregarded by society, and a broader cautionary tale.

`Joker` is all set to put a smile on your face on October 4, 2019. Before that, it will play at the Venice Film Festival in the Competition Section.
