Todd Phillips Joker 2
Director Todd Phillips previews the return of his DC franchise with Joker: Folie à Deux featuring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck once again. While the world waits for James Gunn's DC Universe to begin, Warner Bros. Discovery is revisiting a different DC property with Phillips' Joker universe coming back to theaters this fall.
Screen Rant recently sat down with Phillips for an exclusive interview to give the audience a new taste of Joker: Folie à Deux, as it is less than two weeks away from arriving in theaters. Throughout the interview, Phillips opened up on the interesting challenge to explore his Joker universe once again. Phillips also added where they got the idea to bring Harley Quinn into Joker: Folie à Deux.
On the first Joker, Joaquin and I were really sad, and that never happens. We just didn't want to leave Arthur yet. We really love that character. We love working together, obviously, but we just wanted to spend more time with Arthur. So I think that was a big part of it, honestly. As you say, sequels could sometimes be layups, which is fine. They'd be like, 'Hey, this worked last time. Let's do it.' That's not going to be what Joaquin shows up for. So we wanted to do something challenging and another thing you just said, which is what do we do this for, but to take risks. Work hard and take risks, that's sort of the job description.
