Todd Phillips’ Joker still managed to land a second installment despite it all.
At this point, we’re just waiting for more teasers and trailers after months of seeing Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix filming the sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, in Los Angeles and New York. And truth be told, with all the leaks, it feels like we already know half of what’s going to happen — even against our will. Regardless, we’re just a few months away from seeing the final result, and there are already questions looming around about the possibility of a third installment.
Is Joker 3 happening?
According to Todd Phillips, the director of both films, a third Joker movie is highly unlikely. In a recent interview with suggest that there may simply be no more ideas on what they want to show the audience, and that they’ve decided to call it a day after Jolie à Deux hits theatres.
Phillips could easily take a simpler approach, like Marvel or DC, and choose to explore different timelines or storylines from the comics. However, Joker is hardly a stereotypical superhero movie, and milking it further might not be the best course of action for such an idiosyncratic film — in our opinion, that is. Martin Scorsese also knew when to end Taxi Driver, after all. Alright, we’re done with the jabs — for now.
