Like it or hate it, it seems that people just can’t get enough of Warner Bros. and Todd Phillips’ Joker movie.

 

It’s a standalone film revolving around the iconic Mr. J taking us deep into the bowels of a 1980s Gotham ravaged by poverty and crime. Within this cesspool of violence, we watch Arthur Fleck begins his spiral of decline and winds up sparking a revolution.

 

That, in a nutshell, is the basic plot that anchors Joker – a narrative so dark and depressing that it prompted genuine trepidation among theater chains. Could we see Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur return in another film? That remains to be seen, but it’s certainly not outside the realm of possibility.

 

Warner Bros. is “definitely interested” in doing a Joker sequel. That doesn’t mean it’ll 100% happen and it hasn’t been given the green light just yet, but there’s certainly interest in exploring more of Arthur Fleck’s story.

 

Now sitting pretty at $307 million and expected to pull in quite a bit more this weekend, Joker has proven itself to be a major success and we know that both Phillips and Joaqun Phoenix have already shown interest in the possibility of doing more with the character.
