Alec Baldwin is set to star in 'Joker'.
The 60-year-old actor is said to be in line to portray Thomas Wayne, the physician and philanthropist father of Bruce Wayne/ Batman, who will be played by Joaquin Phoenix in the hotly-anticipated movie.
According to Deadline, Baldwin's role is yet to have been announced by Warner Bros., but he is expected to take on the part of Thomas, who, along with his wife, is shot outside the theatre, a tragic event which Bruce witnesses, igniting his path to becoming a vigilante.
Filming is due to start on September 10 and Todd Phillips is to direct the motion picture, which will also star Robert De Niro.
