With Alec Baldwin needing to walk away from Joker due to scheduling issues, Comicbook.com reports that Brett Cullen is taking over as Thomas Wayne.
Whether Thomas is legitimately like this in Joker or this is just how Arthur Fleck viewed the man, don’t expect the movie to handle Thomas the same way previous media adaptations have… although perhaps him and Martha being gunned down in an alley is still on the table.
Unlike in the comics, where Thomas helped the sick as a physician and used the Wayne family fortune to improve Gotham City before he and his wife Martha were killed, Joker’s version of Thomas is reportedly a less friendly figured, described back when Baldwin was playing the character as a “a cheesy and tanned businessman.”
