I dont know."It was reported earlier this year that director Todd Phillips was working on a script for the sequel and he previously suggested that a follow-up had been discussed during filming for the first film, reports variety.com.

Speaking after the movies release, the filmmaker said: "Well there was (a push for a sequel) even before Joker came out."A movie does that kind of business and became that beloved around the world - they had talked to us about it.Joaquin and I had spoken about it anyway as far back as when we were shooting the movie."Phillips had planned to get DC and Warner Bros.

, to focus on movies that explore the darker side of their superheroes and hoped that other filmmakers would embrace the concept.The 50-year-old director explained: "I pitched it as three movies, Joker being the first with me, and then these two other movies, with two other directors."But I dont really want to name them, because then itll become a thing and Im pulling these directors into it when Ive never even told them about it.It was just me telling Warner Bros.about it #Joaquin #Phoenix #Joker #sequel.
