News culture Joker 2: the sequel to the 2019 cult film made official, a title revealed Posted on 06/08/2022 at 08:12 It’s official. The Joker movie, released in 2019, will have a second episode. It was director Todd Phillips who announced it indirectly on social networks. Joaquin Phoenix is ​​set to reprise the lead role. SummaryJoker 2: what we know so farJoker: some figures on its successJoker 2: what we know so farJust over a month after the announcement of a sequel for The Batman (2022 ), the film with Robert Pattinson and directed by Matt Reeves, it is the turn of the film Joker (2019) to be entitled to a second opus. It was Todd Phillips, director of the film, who announced it in a roundabout way on Instagram by posting two images. The first represents the cover of the script, where we can clearly read Joker: Madness for two which is probably one of the title ideas for this second film around the Joker. The second photo features Joaquin Phoenix reading the script with a cigar in his hand While there’s a lot of script in these two images, plot details are lacking. However, the subtitle Folie à Deux allows us to glean some information: in psychiatry, the term madness for two designates the adoption by two (or even more) people of a way of life concentrated around a common dementia. We can therefore assume that the Joker, who has already gone mad, will perhaps find some close friends who will support him. Joker: some figures on his success Indeed, Joker tells the story of Arthur Fleck, a thirty-something clown in an agency and still living with his mother. He dreams of becoming a comedian but is handicapped by a mental disorder that causes him to laugh without wanting to. One evening, when he returns home after a show in a children’s hospital, he is attacked by three alcoholic white collar workers. He shoots them with a revolver, and his identity remains concealed thanks to the clown mask he had kept on his head. An act that will inspire all of Gothamn City: the poor then revolt against the rich and use the clown mask as a symbol to commit their crimes. A synopsis that more than convinced the press and the public when it was released at the end of the year 2019. A majority points to an exceptional performance by Joaquin Phoenix, winner of an Oscar for Best Actor as well as a Golden Globe for Best Actor. It is also the composer Hildur Guðnadóttir who receives an Oscar for the soundtrack. In total, the film will have been nominated eleven times. In addition, Joker also achieves many records: it exceeds the billion dollars earned at the box office, unheard of for a DC film and for an R-rated film (prohibited at least 16 years old, 17 in the United States).
