This. Is. Cool.
In early October ’19, Joker director Todd Phillips pitched Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich the idea of doing a portfolio of DC characters’ origin stories.
Emmerich wasn’t into it, although sources say Phillips is in talks to reprise his role as director for a second Joker (grossed $1B+ worldwide) movie. Phillips and Scott Silver wrote the Joker screenplay and will write the follow-up too!
They’re keeping their cards close to their chest regarding Joaquin Phoenix involvement. But really, could they make a sequel without Phoenix?
Joker is the 4th DC movie to pass $1 billion at the box office. 2018’s Aquaman ($1.15 billion), 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises ($1.08 billion) and 2008’s The Dark Knight ($1 billion) did too.
So many people say Joker is epic. What did you think?
