Warner Bros. Discovery has been making some pretty striking decisions in recent days. Although the Batgirl film was shot on a fairly large budget, the shelving of The Flash began to wait uneasy with DC fans. The Joker film, starring Joaquin Phoenix and written and directed by Todd Phillips, won the approval of the sequel despite all these negativities. Although the first film ended in a pretty good place, the great success at the box office made the sequel inevitable. Joker 2, Folie a Deux (Two-man Madness), will be released on October 4, 2024.
According to the news first announced by Deadline, Joker 2 will enter the production phase next December. The first Joker film, Joaquin Phoenix, to be nominated for 11 Oscars in total, won the Best Actor award. The film also won Hildur Guðnadóttir the Best Original Composition award for its music. Despite being an 18+ film, Joker earned around $ 1.07 billion at the box office and in this sense, he managed to encourage new period comic book adaptations to become R-Rated.
There are a lot of rumors about the sequel, one of which is a rumor of a musical film in which Lady Gaga will play Harley Queen. For the time being, we only know the name from Todd Phillips’s Instagram post, Joker 2; much more details will emerge soon. I hope they don’t squander this beautifully told story just because the first film was successful at the box office…
