Joker: Folie a Deux director teases Harvey Dent’s transformation into Two-Face

Joker: Folie a Deux?director Todd Phillips and screenwriter Scott Silver spoke to the press before?Joker 2‘s premiere at the Venice Film Festival. The duo were asked why they included Harvey Dent, played by Harry Lawtey, in Joker: Folie a Deux.

“We respect the comics. We get the comics. In Harley’s case, we watched the animated series. Of course, Margot Robbie is Harley Quinn. But when we run things through this film — Harvey Dent is a perfect example,” Todd Phillips told?IGN. “It’s actually a simpler way of talking about what we did with Harley, which was really just put the real-world lens on it, and not that other movies didn’t, but just run it through our Gotham. And so really, the Harvey Dent you meet in here [played by Harry Lawtey] is not a huge part, but if you’re going to have a trial, why wouldn’t you have the Assistant DA prosecuting Arthur Fleck be Harvey Dent? But it’s not about his – we don’t really reveal his dark side. We see a young Harvey Dent.”
