The studies of this Joker film being a musical has divided a number of followers, however Zazie Beetz – who's reprising her function as Sophie Dumond within the movie – thinks this transfer “makes fantastic sense,” per The Hollywood Reporter.
“I wasn’t actually stunned by that,” she mentioned. “Todd [Phillips] has all the time had a inventive strategy to the character.

And I can truly see that inside myself as nicely, as a result of singing and dancing is kind of a cathartic expertise for me. I used to be going by means of a very, actually tough time at one level in my life, and I simply began dancing and crying on my own. And that was an expression that matched the place I used to be at that second. And so I can see Arthur [Fleck], who's feeling and experiencing a lot, dancing and singing about it. He’s the Joker, so I feel it is sensible to me.”
