The Joker film, released in 2019, has gained a solid place not only among comic book adaptations but also in the history of cinema. The film, directed by Todd Phillips,was released as 18+ and managed to break the $1 billion threshold. The Wayne Family detail included in the story managed to excite fans for the possible sequel. Although the use of society instead of a clear enemy character in the original film makes the film so unique, it seems that a Joker 2 is on the horizon.
According to recent reports, Todd Phillips is back in charge of writing the sequel. Just like in the first film, Todd Phillips, who will write the screenplay with Scott Silver, and the studio have another important job to do. Joker star Joaquin Phoenix“needs serious persuasion” for sequel Because despite the serious success of the film, the successful actor expressed his disappath with the sequel. Many fans also backed Phoenix that the Joker was a one-movie story.
But there’s a huge box office revenue potential at stake, so I don’t think Warner Brosis going to give up “Joker 2” easily. That’s why Todd Phillips is back writing stories. The first film had a budget of about $70 million, paving the way for other 18+ comic book adaptations as the film peaked at the box office. Time will tell if Joker 2, which is at a very early stage at the moment, will actually come to life.
