I by no means thought that Joker would transform such a large success (not to mention gross over a billion {dollars}), however I additionally didn’t suppose that Joaquin Phoenix would ever return for a sequel. I ought to in all probability get used to being unsuitable by now. Joker: Folie à Deux will as soon as once more discover Phoenix returning to the position of Arthur Fleck, and Deadline reported at the moment that Catherine Keener (The Adam Challenge) will probably be becoming a member of him.
It’s not recognized who Catherine Keener will probably be taking part in within the Joker sequel, with Deadline solely describing it as a “main position” that’s being stored a secret. Whether or not which means Keener will probably be taking part in a personality who is perhaps acquainted to comic-book followers stays to be seen, however she’s an incredible addition to the ensemble solid. Along with Joaquin Phoenix and Catherine Keener, Joker: Folie à Deux may also star Woman Gaga, Brendan Gleeson, and Zazie Beetz. It’s not recognized who Gleeson will play, however Gaga is predicted to play Harley Quinn, and Beetz will probably be reprising her position of Fleck’s neighbour and love curiosity Sophie Dumond from the unique film.
Todd Phillips will return to direct Joker: Folie à Deux from a script he co-wrote with Scott Silver and manufacturing is predicted to kick off this December. Plot particulars are being stored beneath wraps, however it’s been mentioned that a lot of it can happen inside Arkham Asylum, which is the place we left Arthur within the final movie. It’s additionally believed that the movie may have musical parts, which I’m fairly excited to see play out. Catherine Keener was most not too long ago seen starring alongside Ryan Reynolds, Walker Scobell, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, and Zoe Saldaña in The Adam Challenge on Netflix.
