The Clown Prince of Crime will return with another solo movie. Joker writer and director Todd Phillips posted a cover photo of the script on Instagram confirming that he’s currently working on Joker 2 – or the script calls it Joker: Folie à Deux.
In addition to the footage from Phillips’ script, he included footage of the Joker himself, Joaquin Phoenix reading the script. This seems to confirm that Phoenix will be returning to reprise his role in the 2019 film sequel. Phillips co-writer Scott Silver, who also appears in the sequel’s script, is also back for the next part.
Another unknown for Joker 2 is what the exact plot might be.
Joker: Folie à Deux is a psychological term used to describe a mental disorder that affects two or more individuals, often from the same family. Given the plot of the first movie and Thomas Wayne possibly being the real father of the Joker, it’s entirely possible that this movie could introduce Batman and connect him to the Joker with the idea of Folie à Deux, hint a connection even more than family.
Of course, to know for sure what the film will be about, we will have to wait for a little more information.
