The team behind Joker<\/em> is ready to laugh it up once again, with filmmaker Todd Phillips officially confirming he has completed a script for a sequel to his Oscar-winning 2019 film.<\/p>\n

Phillips shared a cover page to the script, co-written with Joker <\/em>collaborator Scott Silver, along with a photo of star Joaquin Phoenix reading its pages. Phillips also revealed the working title is Joker: Folie \u00e0 deux<\/em>a reference to a medical term for a mental disorder that affects two or more individuals.<\/p>\n

Phoenix earned a best actor Oscar for the role of Arthur Fleck, a troubled man who evolves into a folk villain type figure by the end of the story. Joker<\/em> earned $ 1.07 billion globally, a staggering sum for a film that had a relatively modest budget by comic book movie standards. In all, Joker <\/em>received 11 Oscar nominations, with composer Hildur Gudnadottir winning for best score in addition to Phoenix’s win. Joker <\/em>was praised for playing more like an early Martin Scorsese film than a comic book movie, though it did have some comic book tie-ins, including the inclusion of a young Bruce Wayne.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> broke the news in 2019 that Phillips would return to write a Joker<\/em> sequel, and last week reported that the filmmaker may serve as an advisor of some sort on future DC projects for Warner Bros.<\/p>\n
