Todd Phillips, who produced, directed and co-wrote Joker with Scott Silver, confirmed that Joaquin Phoenix will star as Arthur Fleck once more in a sequel to the Oscar-winning DC villain origin story. Phillips posted a picture of the script that revealed the title of the upcoming sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, as well as a photo of Phoenix reading it. While Phillips has yet to reveal the plot, there are some speculations that come from the meaning behind the title, Folie à Deux. “Folie à Deux” is known as a shared delusional disorder where it affects two or more people with close association. It’s known that the Joker has dependent relationships with characters such as Batman and Harley Quinn, so this title seems to be sticking to that narrative. The original Joker film revolved around Arthur Fleck, a failed comedian that showed signs of mental illness. He sought connections with other human beings, but became isolated from the world and felt completely overlooked by society. His day job as a clown slowly turned into mania, and his crimes launched a movement of copycats throughout Gotham City. There is no information on when the Joker sequel will be released, but we cannot wait to see what the second film has in store!Next, check out the best quotes from the Joker to put a smile on that face.
