Joker director Todd Phillips has spoken out about the highly-anticipated sequel to his 2019 film, Joker, and what fans can expect from the next installment in the series. In an interview, Phillips discussed the complex relationship between the film's protagonist, Arthur Fleck, and the hero he is inevitably tied to: Batman.
Phillips' comments came ahead of the release of Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to his critically-acclaimed origin story. While the original film focused on the transformation of Arthur Fleck into the Joker, the sequel promises to delve deeper into the Clown Prince of Crime's psyche and the chaos he unleashes on Gotham City.
One of the most intriguing questions on fans' minds is how the Joker would react if he were to meet Batman. Phillips provided some insight into this, saying that the Joker would likely be in awe of the 'alpha male' that is Batman. This dynamic between the two characters raises a multitude of questions about their potential interactions and how their complex relationship might unfold.
Lady Gaga, who is set to star in Joker: Folie à Deux, has also been making waves in the music scene. She recently announced a companion album to the film titled Harlequin. The album features 13 new tracks, adding to the excitement surrounding the release of the movie. Fans can expect to hear more about the intersection of music and film as the Joker: Folie à Deux release date approaches.
