Little is known about the "Atlanta" and "Deadpool 2" actress' character in "Joker," but IMDb lists her as playing "Sophie Dumond." When The Hollywood Reporter first reported that Beetz was joining the cast, it described her character as a "single mother who catches the interest of the man who will become the 'clown prince of crime.'"

Phillips, known for directing "The Hangover," had already revealed a look at star Joaquin Phoenix as the title character, both with and without makeup. The director posted footage on Instagram last week of a camera test with Phoenix in clown makeup.
