Joker 2 announced, Todd Philips surprise deals to continue series
The first Joker movie was a great success at the box office and received great feedback from both critics and moviegoers (IMD rating 8.4 out of 10 as of now), which made DC fans expect a sequel. The movie contained a story that would shake people from all walks of life, not just DC or comic book lovers.
After Todd Philips signed with Warner Bros for a sequel, he said he needed time to think and would return to the series if he found a “meaningful theme”. The name of the second movie is Folie à Deux, a term used when more than one person is affected by the same psychological disorder. According to some, this name may indicate a potential “Harley Quinn-Joker” partnership.
