The actor played the critically acclaimed role in 2019, winning the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the troubled DC villain. Judging against the release date of the first Joker film, it could be available for fans to watch next year. Phoenix will be returning once again for his role as the Joker/Arthur Fleck after being featured in the Instagram post reading the script. However, this movie is not in the same universe as Phillip’s franchise, with the role of the Joker going to Barry Keoghan. Phillips confirmed the sequel to the critically acclaimed Joker film on his Instagram account in a post on 7 June. The dark thriller received rave reviews, with Phoenix winning the Oscar for Best Actor in 2020 for his role.

Todd Phillips has confirmed that 'Joker 2' is in the works. He also revealed that Scott Silver has returned to co-write the script.

Joker 2 may focus on Fleck’s relationship with his mother or maybe even his unconfirmed familial relation to Thomas Wayne. Phillips’ co-writer Scott Silver has also returned to help write Joker 2’s script. Phillips also included a picture of Joaquin Phoenix reading the script.

Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips are returning for the sequel.

Phillips shared a photo of the cover of the sequel's script on Instagram, along with a photo of Phoenix reading the screenplay. No plot details have been revealed yet, so for now we'll just have to theorize. Could this mean Harley Quinn might make an appearance in Joker 2?

Did Todd Phillips just confirm a script for Joker 2 on Instagram? It certainly looks like it to me, unless it's a prank, and this is the wrong part of.

It was rumored that WB offered star Joaquin Phoenix a huge deal to sign on for a Joker led trilogy, perhaps this is part 2 we are seeing? Hey, maybe that’s just me, but a Batman treated almost like a horror monster instead of a character whom we spend time with is compelling. As you can see below, Phillips who helmed Joker for WB/D to great success posted on his Instagram, what looks like a script,

An Instagram post by the director of the 2019 Joker, Todd Phillips, has left fans elated at the announcement of a second instalment of the Batman anti-hero ...

In his post, he gave fans a huge piece of information: the new film’s title. It also reportedly took a year after the script had been written for the first Joker film to be released. Phillips’ original Joker stormed the 2020 Oscars, acquiring 11 nominations and taking home 2 big wins, and given the tragedy that was 2020, this was a film that got many through the mundanity of lockdown.

The world of DC Films got a surprising, but long-awaited update earlier this week, with confirmation that a sequel to 2019's Joker is in the works.

But it would have to have a real thematic resonance the way this one did, ultimately being about childhood trauma and the lack of love, and the loss of empathy. "When a movie does $1 billion and cost $60 million to make, of course it comes up," Phillips explained with a laugh in a 2020 interview. As the band joked, this means that "Folie a Deux the musical [is] coming soon."

It looks like Joker 2 is happening with Joaquin Phoenix returning to the role. But the title they gave the sequel is really something.

It’s not difficult to see where this is going with Joker 2 considering the mental illness at the heart of the first film with Joaquin Phoenix and the background of the character in general. And considering, at least for now, it sits outside the other Warner Bros. and DC properties that include the DCEU as well as the most recently released The Batman which has its own budding universe, it’s even more impressive that this film has made a world of its own. The rumor mill has been turning lately with more and more buzz about Joaquin Phoenix returning for Joker 2, an anticipated followup to the surprise 2019 blockbuster that kicked things off in this budding franchise.

Director Todd Philipps confirms Joker 2 with an Instagram post. He also reveals the working title for the 'Joker's sequel. — Comic Years.

In fact, in a deleted scene, we saw Barry Keoghan plays the manic Joker in a cameo role. He dedicates his downtime to annoying the heck out of his cats and dog. That is enough proof that Joaquin Phoenix will return to play Arthur Fleck and his alter ego Joker. The Joker film introduced us to Arthur Fleck, a struggling comedian, and a clown. Another interesting detail the film adds is that this reiteration of Artur Fleck has a strange laughing condition. This detail could be a starting point for Joker 2, given that the first film ended with Arthur Fleck wreaking havoc in a facility. Todd Phillips confirms that the 2019 blockbuster film Joker will return for its sequel in his recent Instagram post.

It was announced on Tuesday (7 June) that Joaquin Phoenix would be returning as Arthur Fleck in a follow-up to Todd Phillip's 2019 Oscar-winning hit.
