It is reported that Todd Phillips, the director of the previous film, has signed on to write the screenplay for Joker 2

There have been rumors that the sequel to Phoenix's Joker is already in the works. Recently, according to foreign media The Hollywood Reporter, Todd Phillips, the director of the first film, has signed on to be the screenwriter of the sequel.

"Joker" director Todd Phillips previously revealed that he had discussed the possibility of future film sequels with Phoenix, and both parties remained open to this, but no follow-up news was released. Recently, according to foreign media The Hollywood Reporter, in an article talking about 100 Hollywood lawyers, it was mentioned that "Joker" director Todd Phillips had reached an agreement with Warner to produce a sequel. Although almost no more details were revealed, director Todd Phillips had previously pointed out that unless he could find a subject matter like the first "Joker" that resonated with the audience, he would not return to shoot a sequel.

In 2020, "Uncle Phoenix" Joaquin Phoenix swept the Oscars, Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards and British Academy Film Awards for Best Actor for starring in the popular DC movie "Joker", and earned over $1 billion at the box office with a budget of only $60 million. Rumors about a sequel have been circulating on the Internet. Although ending the film with applause might be the best policy, it would seem a pity not to continue such unprecedented success.
