Put on a happy face; a sequel to “Joker” is on the way.
Filmmaker Todd Phillips shared pictures of a finished script on Instagram with the working title “Joker: Folie à deux” which translates to “shared madness.”
The Star of the first movie, Joaquin Phoenix, is seen giving the script a read-through.
Talks of a sequel are surprising. In an interview with Toronto Sun in 2019, Phillips said there were no plans for a sequel.
“This is a one-time movie. We’re not talking about sequels. We’re not tying it into anything. There’s no secret Easter egg thing setting up something else.”

The movie went on to earn $1 billion worldwide and won several awards, including best actor.
