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

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

However for the upcoming Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, it’s full velocity forward. I assume 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 take a look at the brand new movie, which exhibits 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 up to now, Joker: Folie à Deux flies within the face of nearly every part new DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran wish to do. Their acknowledged plan is to make one large, cohesive fictional universes that crosses between motion pictures, TV, and video games. Joker, which is R-rated, is ready in a separate actuality from another DC film thus far; its Bruce Wayne wasn’t Robert Pattinson or Ben Affleck or Michael Keaton, however somewhat child. And now they’re including a Harley Quinn to the combination 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 perhaps 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.
