Move over, Rocky, there’s a new stairway to climb.
###
A set of outdoor steps in the Bronx has become a tourist attraction in recent weeks since the release of the movie ‘Joker.’
###
The stairs are between two buildings on Shakespeare Avenue.

In the movie, lead actor Joaquin Phoenix dances as he goes down the steps, wearing a bright red suit and clown make-up.

These days, neighbourhood residents using the steps are being joined by tourists trying to recreate the scene.
###
The visitors have been taking selfies, and some have even shown up in costume.
###
Coming to the stairs is “really immersive,” said Oliver Bonallack, visiting from Brighton, England.
###
“You never really get to experience a film first-hand,” he said. “I feel like it is so iconic.”
###
Not everyone is thrilled with the upsurge in popularity.
###
“We live in the neighbourhood, it’s taking up all of our time, we’re all being inconvenienced,” said Bronx resident Cathyrine Spencer. “Every day when I come down the stairs, I have to go through a barrage of people.”
###
The stairway joins the ranks of well-known movie settings, like that of the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art seen in ‘Rocky.’
