Joaquin Phoenix to return as the ‘Joker’ in upcoming sequel
After months of waiting, director Todd Phillips has finally confirmed the sequel of his billion-dollar box office blockbuster ‘Joker’.
In an Instagram post, Phillips unveiled the cover of the script, written by him and Scott Silver, with the title ‘Joker: Folie a Deux’. The term means ‘the presence of the same or similar delusional ideas in two persons closely associated with one another’.
The post also revealed that Joaquin Phoenix, who won his first Oscar for playing the part of the DC villain, was returning for the role. In the second picture, Phoenix can be seen reading the screenplay by a window.
There is no official confirmation from Warner Bros for the moment, but given the popularity of the original film, a sequel looked inevitable.
