Having recently become the first R-rated movie to surpass $1 billion at the box office, it shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn that DC’s Joker is likely getting a sequel movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has sequel options in place for star Joaquin Phoenix and is in talks with director Todd Phillips to bring him back for the sequel as well. Phillips and Joker co-writer Scott Silver are expected to write the screenplay once again.
The report didn’t offer up any details on the plot of the sequel, but noted that it won’t explore Batman’s origins, as DC is already working on The Batman with writer-director Matt Reeves — a movie which will give yet another new actor (Robert Pattinson) the opportunity to don the cape and make the role his own.
