Martin Scorsese considered filming Joker: The film is great

Recently, Martin Scorsese talked about "Joker" in an interview, saying that he had been thinking about whether to direct "Joker" for "about 4 years". Scorsese said that he knew the movie "Joker" very well, and he also knew Todd Phillips very well. His producer Emma Tringer Koskoff also participated in the production of this film. "I thought about it for about 4 years before deciding that I didn't have time to join the production of "Joker"."

Martin Scorsese said: "It was my personal reasons for not joining, but I know the script of the film very well, with enough power and extraordinary Joaquin Phoenix, the film is a very good work. For me, I don't know whether I should take the next step to develop this character into a comic character. He becomes more abstract. This does not mean that it is a bad work of art. This can be achieved, but it is not for me. But this is still different from a superhero movie. It is very different."

At the same time, Scorsese once again emphasized that he believes superhero movies are more like theme parks and an extension of theme parks.
