Joaquin Phoenix hints at Joker sequel

Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix has suggested that a sequel to Joker is possible as there are more things to “explore” with the villain. The 46-year-old star won the Best Actor Oscar for his role as Arthur Fleck/Joker in the 2019 movie.

Phoenix said: “This is an interesting guy. There are some things we could do with this guy and could (explore) further. But as to whether we actually will? I don’t know.” It was reported earlier this year that director Todd Phillips was working on a script for the sequel and he previously suggested that a follow-up had been discussed during filming for the first film.

Speaking after the movie’s release, the filmmaker said: “Well there was a push for a sequel even before Joker came out. A movie does that kind of business and became that beloved around the world — they had talked to us about it. Joaquin and I had spoken about it anyway as far back as when we were shooting the movie.” — IANS
