There’s no release date set for the film yet.

Todd Phillips and Scott Silver are attached as co-writers. Phillips is also expected to work behind the lens for as well as produce the film.

The Joker origin movie will not star Jared Leto, who portrayed the green-haired villain in last year’s Suicide Squad.

Leonardo DiCaprio may replace the Blade Runner 2049 actor to play Joker in the DC Extended Universe.

WB is reportedly trying for Martin Scorsese as a producer for the upcoming movie in an effort to bring DiCaprio into the DCEU since they’re frequent collaborators.

The duo teamed up in The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Departed, Shutter Island and The Wolf of Wall Street.
