World-renowned actor Joaquin Phoenix is preparing to return to the screen with Joker: Folie à Deux, in which he stars alongside Lady Gaga.
The film is set to be released soon.
The Oscar-winning actor was also scheduled to star in a yet-to-be-titled film directed by Todd Haynes, but things have changed.
According to Variety, Joaquin Phoenix abruptly left the film, which was set to start filming in Mexico in just five days.
Rumor has it that the reason for the famous actor's departure is his fear of the film being a "gay romance."
The film is set in the 1930s and tells the story of a love affair between two men.
According to The Independent, the film crew is now in a difficult situation.
The set had already been completed, and replacing Phoenix with another actor is out of the question. As a result, the film crew may lose their jobs, and the producers are facing a seven-figure financial loss.
Joaquin Phoenix was supposed to star in this film alongside Top Gun: Maverick actor Danny Ramirez.
Do you think the famous actor will return to this gay love story that he abandoned just five days before filming was set to begin?
