Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix will return in the titular role…
Almost three years following its explosive release, Todd Phillips’ Joker is finally getting a sequel, and today we’ve gotten the official title for the new epic.
Dubbed Joker: Folie a Deux, the upcoming sequel is set to see Phoenix reprise the titular role that earned him a ‘Best Actor’ Oscar in 2020. As for the meaning behind the name, ‘Folie a Deux’ means shared psychotic disorder, no doubt a reference to the mental decay and havoc the Joker is notorious for wreaking havoc across the DC universe.
To make things a little sweeter, along with sharing the announcement for the upcoming film, director Todd Phillips has also seemingly confirmed the draft for the film, posting a photo of Joker star Joaquin Phoenix reading the final draft, which was reportedly finalised on May 18th.
