Joker 2 confirmed by director Todd Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix

For a second solo film, The Clown Prince of Crime will be back. Joker writer and director, Todd Phillips posted a photo on Instagram of a script cover confirming that he’s currently working on Joker 2 — or as the script calls it Joker: Folie à Deux.

Along with Phillips’ script photo, he also included a picture of the Joker himself, Joaquin Phoenix reading the script. The script photo clearly confirms Phoenix’s return for the sequel. Also returning for the sequel is Phillips’ co-writer Scott Silver, whose credit appears on the script for the sequel.

Joker 2, however, is still unsure of the exact plot. The script’s title of Joker: Folie à DeuxThe psychological term for a mental disorder that can affect two or more people in the same household. Based on the plot of the first movie, and that Thomas Wayne could be Joker’s real father, it’s entirely possible that this movie could introduce Batman and connect him to the Joker with the Folie à Deux idea, suggesting a connection that’s even more than familial.

Of course, to know for sure what the movie will be about, we’ll have to wait for a bit more information.
