Joker Director Says a Sequel Would Have To Have Thematic Resonance

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”30264″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The Joker movie is doing extremely well. Ridiculously well and as it should.

Because of its success, people are wondering if there will be a sequel. While the film is meant to be a standalone and simply a one-shot, fans would love to see Joaquin Phoenix back for round two. Director Todd Phillips responds to this and explains there’s nothing in the works as of now:

“But it couldn’t just be this wild and crazy movie about the ‘Clown Prince of Crime’. It would have to have some thematic resonance in a similar way that this does. Because I think that’s ultimately why the movie connected, it’s what’s going on underneath. So many movies are about the spark, and this is about the powder. If you could capture that again in a real way, that would be interesting.”

In another interview, Phoenix reveals he was asking Phillips early on about a Joker sequel:

“In the second or third week of shooting, I was like, ‘Todd, can you start working on a sequel? There’s way too much to explore’. It was kind of in jest — but not really.”
