It’s not only the cast of the Joker movie that is coming together, as Film Music Reporter has revealed that DC Films and director Todd Phillips has enlisted Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir to score the Clown Prince of Crime’s standalone origin film.

Guðnadóttir’s previous scores include A Hijacking, The Oath, Mary Magdalene and Sicario: Day of the Soldado, while she has also contributed to the music for the likes of Prisoners, The Revenant and Arrival.
