‘Joker 2’: The movie is underway with Joaquin Phoenix, Todd Philips… And title!

‘Joker’ was undoubtedly one of the films of 2019 along with ‘Parasites’. His awards race was brutal (Joaquin Phoenix took it all), and both the critics and the public responded very positively. In fact, the film grossed over $1 billion at the international box office on a budget of just $60 million, which for a film of this genre is practically unthinkable.

Warner is already rubbing his hands with a sequel, and all those who have participated in the first part want to repeat it, but the question is: how, when and if it is worth it?

Is there a possibility of a ‘Joker 2’? Will it be connected to ‘The Batman’? When could we see ‘Joker 2’?

‘Joker 2’ release date

‘joker’ was released in October 2019, and the project kicked off in 2018, so it was a quick production and on a fairly tight budget. It is logical to think that, if it occursjoker 2‘, the budget will be similar. But with the premiere ‘batman‘ Sen this past March, Warner left the continuation of his great success of 2019 in the background. Therefore, ‘Jóker 2’ could have a premiere at the end of 2023 at the earliest. But there is nothing official at the moment.

‘Joker 2’ Synopsis

If this second part comes to fruition, both Phoenix and Phillips have said that they would like to see where the character would go from the point where they have left him. In the epilogue of the film, we see Arthur Fleck fleeing from Arkham, so it could be understood that in ‘Joker 2’ we would see the character in freedom. According to The Hollywood ReporterPhillips was already writing the script for the sequel a year ago.

He himself has stated that the Joker that the Arthur we see could not be Batman’s enemy Joker, but an inspiration for him, so we could also meet another new character who becomes the Bat Man’s nemesis. In fact, Todd Phillips spoke of up to three films:

I submitted three films, the first being Joker with me, and then another two with two other different directors. But I don’t really want to name them, because then it will become news and I’ll bring these directors into this when I haven’t even told them anything. Only I told Warner Bros.

What has already been shared is the new and crazy title that this second part will have. This was announced by the director with the publication on his social networks. The sequel will be called ‘Joker: Folie a deux’ (madness of two). The name is an allusion to psychotic disorderin which madness passes from one person to another.

‘Joker 2’ Cast

The second image that Philips has shared on his Instagram is of the actor reading with the text in his hands. Will he have a new partner or adventure partner?

The rest of the characters we saw in the first would be difficult to see them again, except for Brett Cullenwho plays Thomas Wayne.

“I never would have dreamed this would be my dream role. But now I honestly can’t stop thinking about him. I talked to Todd a lot about what else we could do with him, what else we could do with the Joker that might be interesting.”

Zazie Beetz, for her part, who played Arthur Fleck’s neighbor, has not hesitated to say that she would also want to return in a sequel.

“I would definitely come back! Honestly, I feel like Todd would be the perfect person to do it with pleasure. I think if he feels like ‘Joker’ needs a sequel, I trust him completely. He’s very creative and smart.”

‘Joker 2’ Director

Phillips stated that if Warner wants, and Phoenix too, he would be willing to revisit the character of Arthur Fleck. Ideas are not lacking … And he is already working on the script.

I would do anything with Joaquin, any day of the week. If Warners comes to us and says “You know what guys? You guys can’t think of anything…” Well, you have a feeling that he and I could do some really cool stuff.

Officially, Philips returns in this new installment, and has shared on his Instagram account: a photo with the cover of the script, written by him together with Scott Silver.
