The latest episode of The Hashtag Show has a new rumor suggesting De Niro is being eyed for a role in Todd Phillips‘ Joker movie.
The site has a handful of character descriptions for the new movie and they claim one of those could go to De Niro.
That 1982 film starred De Niro as a deluded comedian, and rumors a while back revealed Phoenix’s Joker may get an entirely new origin story as a failed comedian in the ‘80s.
According to The Hashtag Show, De Niro is being considered for the supporting role of Murray Franklin, described as a white guy ages 65-75.
