Joaquin Phoenix is again operating by means of the streets of Gotham because the Clown Prince himself — however regardless of the motion being filmed on the bottom … some are scoffing from above.

Try this footage, obtained by TMZ, the place the actor might be seen on the set of ‘Joker 2,’ which was filming on location Saturday in DTLA … and the place JP was doing a number of takes the place he is being chased by some dangerous guys, who occur to be wearing Joker gear.

It is fairly attention-grabbing … you see Joaquin right here (as Arthur Fleck) in a enterprise swimsuit, sans make-up, and a few goons going after him as they weave out and in of visitors. One of many dudes on his tail is definitely wearing his ‘Joker’ outfit from the primary film.

There’s some good motion captured on digicam right here, however the photog does not appear to be that huge a fan of Joaquin or ‘Joker’ typically … ‘trigger he talks plenty of crap all through.

At one level, you possibly can see director Todd Phillips strolling by means of the scene once more with Joaquin (who’s in common garments, masked up) — and there, too, the digicam man has snarky commentary to supply. It does not appear to be Todd and co. cared that individuals have been watching … they have been busy attempting to get the photographs, and it seems to be like they they have been preoccupied.

Couple takeaways … it looks as if the sequel to the 2019 hit is definitely going to happen, partly, exterior of an asylum — which is the place we final noticed Joaquin’s Joker. Additionally, no signal of Woman Gaga anyplace on Saturday’s set, however she’s on this as properly (as Harley Quinn).
