Joker 2 : Sequel

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Naturally, you can't expect a film to make that much cold hard cash and not have the studio consider a sequel, and as both Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix have previously expressed a willingness to at least consider returning, it may only be a matter of time before we see Arthur Fleck once again. Buried in a THR report listing Hollywood's most powerful lawyers was the tidbit that Todd Phillips has apparently "struck a deal to co-write the next Joker installment." Now, it's important to note that the outlet has previously come under fire when it comes to reporting Joker sequel news, even some that was directly shot-down by Phillips himself, but even if a sequel doesn't eventually materialize, it would be foolish of Warner Bros. not to at least explore the possibilities. In addition to directing the first film, Todd Phillips also co-wrote the script alongside Scott Silver.

I would think it is just a matter of time.

The Arthurnals

The Fleckturnals

Such a perfect movie, no need for a sequel.

 

[jye4ever]

You don’t want a Batman for this Joker

 

[Prime Clone]

Such a perfect movie, no need for a sequel.

I thought that about Blade Runner too, but BR2049 was actually worthwhile. Maybe they just need to wait 30 years.

The director thought it would be cool for someone to make a Batman in this world. I imagine that is what we are getting. Imagine that, four concurrent movie Batmen within a few years.

Lol.... not to mention it could ruin the amazing first movie. I like how the first movie ended.

Agreed. It certainly felt like a one and done. I didn't think Joaquin wanted to do another. Money talks.

I could see the sequel taking place in the 90's or 2000's, with a "reformed" Arthur getting out, just like Norman Bates in Psycho 2. Arthur who was convicted of murder is found not guilty by virtue of his insanity, so after 25 years Arthur is released from Arkham hospital by the court, after being deemed mentally sound. That's a good start for a sequel. He tries his best to make it in Gotham once again, but it proves to much for Arthur and he goes full Joker again and things escalate, with Joker taking his crimes much further than in the pervious film. He might even have a cult like following on the outside like Charles Manson did for many years. The movie would need some kind of main antagonist for the Joker to kill, as well as a "good" antagonist like a doctor, social worker or detective that wants to help and arrest Arthur. This film has potential.

Unlike the first film, Arthur needs to go full Joker in the second act, so the first 30 minutes, or first act focuses on Arthur genuinely trying to be good and setting up the new characters as well as the main antagonist.

I know this is a stretch but uhhhhh I think this joker is the joker in the Pattinson universe. Idk I just think maybe that could happen. But it?s a long shot.

It could happen, but he'd get killed by Pattison, from the looks of The Batman trailer. I don't want Phoenix to have a Batman, tbh.

Typical WB

I couldn't agree more, although money talks

Also I loved the blade runner sequel but I would have been perfectly happy without it

Some films are standalone classics that don't need another

I?d call it a no shot. Not happening. Not happening at all.
