1905 Film News On November 21, the industry’s well-known media THR reported that the sequel to the popular comic film "Joker" has begun preparations for development, and director Todd Phillips has discussed with Warner executives and hopes to develop it for other DC characters At least one movie. Shortly after, two other media, Deadline and Variety, which were as famous as THR, also made relevant reports, but their claims contradicted the content of THR.
Deadline completely denied the report of THR, saying that it was informed that there is no sequel plan for "Joker" at present, and that "the discussion between Phillips and Warner on the development of the origin story of other DC characters" never happened at all, and that THR said nothing, just for "Cheat Click."
Variety's coverage is between THR and Deadline, saying that the "Joker" sequel negotiations are still very early, and there is no agreement, no storyline and script. It also refuted the claim that Phillips will develop the origin stories of other DC characters.
The style of "Joker" is very unique, independent of the DC movie universe. It was originally impossible to shoot a sequel, but the film's excellent box office performance (current global box office has exceeded 1 billion U.S. dollars) seems to have brought relevant claims to the surface. The three authoritative film media all have more sources of news, and completely contradictory reports are also rare. Whether "Joker" will have a sequel or not has to wait for follow-up reports, and whether Warner will issue an official statement.
