And now that Joker has crossed the $1 billion mark, a sequel is on the way. As the movie keeps raking in money overseas, Phillips is in talks to reprise his role as director for a second Joker outing (he and Scott Silver, who penned the gritty Joker screenplay, will write the follow-up), THR has learned.  

Warners has sequel options in place for Joker star Joaquin Phoenix, who has emerged as a strong contender in the Oscar best actor race. The studio and Phillips' reps at CAA declined to comment.

Well that didn't take long .😅

more Joker in this gotham lore is great but will Todd Phillips have hildur guðnadóttir's score to carry him for the sequel?

Go to the Todd Phillips playbook: the same plot just set in Thailand.

Todd Phillips: The Fratboy Menace

Did people really believe it was one and done after the profit this film made? Only Nolan can save cinema.

Ech if this article is entirley true Phoenix should fire his agents immediately, in the movie which success was almost entirley driven by his performance (which was not hard to guess even before the movie was made given how large is characters present in the script) he will get paid 4,5 mln$ meanwhile Todd Philips will get more than 100 mln$, it's the level of many which JJ Abrams got for TFA and will get for TRoS. 

And on top of that WB has supposedly option for the sequel in contract which means that he has no choice and has to do the sequel and will be again severly underpaid. Lol

[Ryan Reynolds]

not surprising , but thought they would wait to after awards season to announce anything. but money more important than awards in Hollywood

Phoenix will probably get some percentage too and he'll get a giant paycheck for a sequel, WB will keep him happy. If the movie was just perfomance, it wouldn't have been this successful and beloved, it's actually great movie across the board. Todd pitched it, co-wrote it, directed it, produced it and convinced Phoenix and WB to do it, I think he deserves this money, plus he exchanged his salary for bigger percentage from gross, the same deal he did with Hangover.

I'm not taking away anything from Philips or anyone involved in the production but this movie was basically on man show, it was living or dying dependent on his performance. 

And I'm not sure about giant paycheck becouse WB had an option for sequel in the contract, but I'm not entirley confident what it exactly means. 

[DlAMONDZ]

I hope Todd brings in Harley. I wanna see her in such a society

[MOVIEGUY]

Lol I'm sure Phoenix will be fine. He's got a LOT of leverage negotiating a deal for the sequel. 

 

Personally I like the idea of a sequel, I think there's a lot more to explore with the character. I thought the movie ended when it was just starting to get really good and I want to see more of him as the actual Joker.

I'm sure option is just an offer/possibility, it's always negotiable, he'll get huge paycheck for sure, WB know they need to keep him happy, he is the star after all.

Any idea what era Reeve's Batman is set in? Wonder if J2 will be an attempt to bring the timelines closer and leave open an option of overlapping story-lines.

[grim22]

After the first movie took Taxi Driver and King of Comedy as its influences, the very very obvious places to take inspirations for the second movie will be Scarface and Goodfellas.
