VIDEO : Joaquin Phoenix Not Worried About What People Think Of Him Playing The Joker

Joaquin Phoenix is stepping into the crosshairs of DC Comics fandom by playing the titular role in Joker, Todd Phillips' upcoming standalone Joker origin story. However, according to Phoenix in a recent interview, the pressure of pleasing the fandom is not one that he feels. At all.
Here's what Phoenix told Indiewire, after being asked if he feels the pressure to confirm to fan expectations of The Joker:
?I could care less. I don?t really think that much about what people think. Who cares, who cares? My approach to every movie is the same. What I?m interested in is the filmmaker and the idea of the character.?
