Director Todd Phillips Teases Progress On Joker Sequel: JOKER: Folie à Deux’!
Director Todd Phillips has taken to Instagram tonight to give fans an update on the now confirmed sequel to JOKER. The director revealed that Joker: Folie à Deux is the current title of the script.
Phillips has shared the cover page for the sequel’s script, which he wrote alongside Scott Silver. A second image shows returning star Joaquin Phoenix reading the script.
Joker was also written by Todd Phillips and Scott Silver, and of course starred Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, the man who ends up becoming DC’s iconic villain.
In Joker, which won two Academy Awards in 2020, “A mentally troubled stand-up comedian embarks on a downward spiral that leads to the creation of an iconic villain.”
But what the hell does the title mean? “Folie à Deux,” for what it’s worth, is the term meaning “shared psychosis” or “shared delusional disorder,” does this lend itself for Harley Quinn to join the Joker? Time will tell.
