JAKARTA - James Gunn is responsive to rumors circulating on the internet, especially regarding the character he is involved in. Recently, he was reportedly making a television series about Joker which actor Barry Keoghan will play.

Actor Barry Keoghan appeared as a cameo in the film The Batman which will air in 2022. This film is a production of DC Studios led by James Gunn.

"The Joker series is not being discussed or planned at this time," wrote James Gunn via the Threads account.

This rumor stems from Marvelvision's broadcast that James Gunn and director Matt Reeves plan to connect The Batman Part 2 and Part 3 by inserting the Joker series. The concept of this series will be similar to the series The slight, played by Colin Farrell. The series is reportedly starting filming next year.

"Open Threads and everyone ask about this. No, there is no truth about this," Gunn continued.

This series is said to be produced after the failure of the Joker sequel in theaters. In addition, Matt Reeves once expressed his desire to develop the Joker story with his character.

Barry Keoghan, who cameo, plays the Joker, but Reeves insists that Keoghan's performance is not part of credits like Marvel or DC.

"(Keoghan's appearance) is not a final credit like Marvel or DC like 'This is a new film!' in fact, I don't know when or if we're going to make a character in this film," Matt Reeves quoted Variety as saying.

I told Barry, from the start, "Gini, I don't know where this is going. I can't promise if this will continue. I don't know." Reeves said.
