Joaquin Phoenix is marking his return to the big screen with the new film, Disappointment Blvd.
Joaquin Phoenix‘s next major project is finally revealed after his incredible performance in Joker (2019).
The actor landed an Oscar for Best Actor last year for his depiction of the DC villain, and now it’s confirmed that he’s joining forces with horror director Ari Aster for his next credit.
As per the Deadline, Phoenix will star in a movie titled Disappointment Blvd. Details about the film are scarce at the moment, but the plot is described as:
An intimate, decades-spanning portrait of one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time.
Aster is famed for films like Hereditary (2018) and Midsommar (2019), so his next one (which also originates from indie juggernaut A24) will undoubtedly receive quite a focus, in particular with Phoenix in tow.
In addition, the actor is set to join forces with Gladiator director Ridley Scott for a new film titled Kitbag, which sees him portray, Napoleon Bonaparte.

The film focuses on Napoleon’s military life and the emergence of the emperor, and also on his intoxicating and often unstable romantic relationship with his wife, Josephine.
On a personal front, Phoenix welcomed a brand new bundle of joy into his family last year, with the baby named after the Academy Award winner’s late brother River.
During his Oscar speech, the actor praised his sibling while also offering strong words that centered on gender parity and discrimination.
