Todd Phillips Reveals First Take a look at ‘Joker 2’

There are a variety of modifications occurring behind the scenes at Warner Bros and DC Studios. Motion pictures like Batgirl have been canceled, and initiatives like Marvel Lady 3 that had been within the early phases of growth have reportedly been shut down.

However for the upcoming Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, it’s full velocity forward. I suppose when a film makes $1 billion and wins a pair Academy Awards in opposition to a price range of lower than $100 million, you’re gonna make a sequel irrespective of who’s in cost or what their plans are.

Within the case of Folie à Deux, each director Todd Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix are again, joined by Girl Gaga as a brand new Harley Quinn to Phoenix’s Joker. As revealed by Phillips on Instagram, manufacturing on the movie — which isn’t due out for nearly two years — is formally underway. He shared a primary have a look at the brand new movie, which reveals a gaunt Phoenix getting shaved. You gotta love the colourful, pop artwork world of DC Comics, am I proper?

From what has leaked within the press to date, Joker: Folie à Deux flies within the face of nearly all the things new DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran wish to do. Their said plan is to make one large, cohesive fictional universes that crosses between films, TV, and video games. Joker, which is R-rated, is ready in a separate actuality from every other DC film so far; its Bruce Wayne wasn’t Robert Pattinson or Ben Affleck or Michael Keaton, however slightly child. And now they’re including a Harley Quinn to the combo who isn’t Margot Robbie. Additionally, the movie is meant to be a musical!

However, once more, the success of Joker was seemingly too overwhelming to disclaim. Perhaps they’ll construct a universe round Joker; or possibly they may make it the one exception to their rule of interconnectedness.

Joker: Folie à Deux is scheduled to open in theaters on October 4, 2024.
