After setting the worldwide box-office on fire, Joker will be returning to take you on yet another sinister, dark side of humans.
After much pressure from media and fans alike, Todd Phillips – who directed the recently released flick starring Joaquin Phoenix in the lead, has asserted that he’s willing to go ahead with a sequel as long as there’s something to the story to be told.
The ‘talks’ have already begin on the subject with Warner Bros., however it would be too early to comment on how the whole thing shapes up.
According to a report published on variety:
“Insiders shot down reports that Warner Bros. and DC are talking about having Phillips do origin stories for other comic-book characters, revealing what cracked on their trek to the dark side. Any ‘Joker’ follow-up will take years to pull off and DC has a busy slate.”
Meanwhile, the first part has already crossed the ‘one billion’ mark at the global box office – becoming the first ever R-rated movie to do so. And with all the Oscar buzz that Joaquin Phoenix has been getting for her stellar showcasing of acting-chops in the flick, don’t be surprise if you see a sequel in a year or two.
