The decision to turn Joker 2 into a musical has raised eyebrows, but for actress Zazie Beetz, who will reprise her role as Sophie in the sequel, it makes perfect sense. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Beetz expressed her thoughts on the shift in tone, stating, “I can see Arthur, who is feeling and experiencing so much, dancing and singing about it.
