A sequel to the award-winning film Joker has been confirmed, with Joaquin Phoenix expected to return for a second outing as the iconic villain.
Director Todd Phillips shared the news on Instagram, teasing fans with a picture of the front page of a script with the title “Joker: Folie à Deux” written across it, named after the French term for two people sharing a delusion or mental illness. The front page also revealed that the film will be co-written by Scott Silver, who wrote Joker along with Phillips.
The director delighted his followers with a second photo showing Joaquin Phoenix, who starred as the Joker in the 2019 film, engrossed in reading the script. The 47-year-old actor bagged an Oscar for Best Actor following his portrayal of the troubled Arthur Fleck.
