Ever since Joaquin Phoenix walked down those stairs in his Joker attire in the spin-off Warner Bros movie, the world has not been the same. It brought him an Oscar for the best actor, whereas he was an anti-hero. The movie became the highest-earning R-rated movie ever, and the increase in the fanbase is infinite. There is no way DC is not planning to juice out the maximum from its highest-earning anti-hero ever.
There is also confirmation to ‘Joker 2’, and it is also confirmed that Todd Phillips has taken the writer’s seat for the sequel. If he is directing or not is a mystery. What is also a mystery is whether Joaquin will be reprising the ‘Clown Prince Of Crime’ or not. While all of that stays, the latest report has the most exciting update of the day to offer and it brings back the Oscar winner for multiple flicks.
As per the reports the studio is now planning the widen the horizon for Joaquin Phoenix’s anti-hero. They want his Joker to have more meat in the DCEU and claim his corner in the realm forever. For this, they are planning to rope him for a complete trilogy and make him the centre of it. Isn’t this turning out to be the most exciting update already?
There have been speculations forever that Joaquin Phoenix has been offered hoards of cash to come in again. The last figure to impress him reprise Joker was rumoured to be $50 Million. But on the contradiction, the actor has not really dismissed reprising the character.
“I wouldn’t have thought of this (Joker) as my dream role,” the Academy Award winner said as per NME in the past. “But now, honestly, I can’t stop thinking about it. I talked to Todd a lot about what else we might be able to do, in general, just working together, but also specifically, if there’s something else we can do with Joker that might be interesting. So, it ended up being a dream role. It’s nothing that I really wanted to do prior to working on this movie.”
