Director Todd Phillips posted to Instagram the first confirmation that the sequel to 2019’s “Joker” is moving forward on Tuesday — including the cover of the script, written by Phillips and Scott Silver, his collaborator on the first film, with the title “Joker: Folie à Deux.” In the same post, he included a shot of star Joaquin Phoenix reading the screenplay.
Phillips’ original “Joker” film reframed the iconic Batman villain into an anti-hero character study about a struggling comedian who becomes a folk hero following acts of shocking violence. Moody, dark, and studiously avoiding the action beats typical of superhero cinema, the film was still a massive global blockbuster, grossing over $1 billion worldwide.
