Alec Baldwin Has Already Exited JOKER Movie
Two days ago, it was reported that Alec Baldwin had joined the cast of Warner Bros.’ Joker movie as Thomas Wayne, aka the father of Bruce Wayne/Batman. It was a fun thought while it lasted, however. Baldwin tells USA Today that he has dropped out of Joker, citing a scheduling conflict. “I’m no longer doing that movie. I’m sure there are 25 guys who can play that part.” Scheduling conflicts happen all the time, but it’s odd how Baldwin cites it just two days after his casting was first reported. Wouldn’t something like that be decided upon beforehand? Thomas Wayne is reportedly being depicted as a “cheesy and tanned” businessman, compared to 1980s…
