Director Todd Phillips said Phoenix wasn't going to do Joker: Folie à Deux unless he was as scared as he was making the first film.
, Phoenix is harboring reservations over whether he and director Todd Phillips have it in them to make it a trilogy.came together. As Phillips recalls, he and Phoenix fell in love with what they created with Arthur Fleck and quickly began joking about where the character’s misadventures could continue around the 30-day mark of the first film’s 55-day shoot.
“He literally said to me, ‘I’m not going to do this unless I’m as scared as I was on the first one.’ He was petrified on the first movie the way you want an actor to be,” Phillips continued. “We kind of wrote a script that would sort of give him that feeling.”, Phillips recounted Phoenix suggesting they “do this on Broadway or something.”
“He had this vision, and again, 50 to 80% of it was us just fucking around joking. And that’s sort of the creative process. And then I’ll call Scott and go, ‘What do you think about that?’ And we just bounce around ideas. That’s just sort of how everybody works,” Phillips said.about whether Phillip’s sophomore effort with Phoenix’s Joker was worth all the effort. One review went so far as to say the film committed the cardinal sin of wasting Lady Gaga’s talents.
Should the fear of disappointing critics and audiences not be enough to push Phoenix’s love of Arthur into venturing into a thirdfilm, Phillips could always go the nuclear route of dangling a gay romance storyline over his head.
