No one could have expected Todd Phillips's "Joker" to be such a success since it was released. Not only did this movie generate billions of dollars in box office revenue, it was also the most profitable comic film ever.
It is not difficult to imagine that this high-income movie will make Warner Bros. want to continue making a sequel. This is something that excites fans, but something that makes fans more excited. Todd Phillips said that he and Warner Bros. discussed the trilogy of "Joker" and he wanted to use the three of "Joker" Movies to create movies of different DC styles.
In this regard, Todd Phillips said: "I position "Joker" as three movies. "Joker" is the first movie of my own, and then the other two can work with other directors. But I don’t want to say the director’s name, because I never even told them, it’s just what I told Warner Bros."
From this point of view, the trilogy is becoming more and more popular in Hollywood. First, Marvel likes to shoot three. Part to introduce each character, and then say that James Cameron intends to make the "Terminator" trilogy. However, director Todd Phillips wanted to create a brand new film to tell the story of Arthur Fleck, not a universe interconnected with DC. This is his plan for the "Joker" trilogy. However, when he discussed this on the IGN UK podcast, he said that Warner Bros. didn't agree with it very much.
Todd Phillips explained: "I still think this is a good idea. But I want to tell you honestly, this is not what Warner Bros wants. Their point is that there is no reason to create your own label, no reason to be so troublesome. . When I want to make a movie like this, I do it, like "Joker". I understand that if "Joker" can have its own label, it would be so cool."
Of course, Warner Bros. Maybe you can reconsider this suggestion of Todd Phillips, after all, there are so many people who hope that "Joker" can have a sequel. In theaters, audiences still want to see films like "Joker". The influence of this film is not only in the box office performance, but the filming location of the film has now become a tourist attraction for the audience. However, Warner Bros. disagrees with Todd Phillips for making the "Joker" trilogy a label for a certain reason. That means that Warner Bros. wants to build something other than DC, which will indeed be particularly troublesome. In addition, "Joker" is not a PG13-level movie, so for Warner Bros., there will be some risks.
Regardless of whether Todd Phillips’s "Joker" trilogy can be realized or not, many audiences are expecting this movie to usher in a sequel. Even starring Jacques Phoenix said that he and the director are shooting the "Joker" movie. During the period, he asked the director when he could have a sequel because he thought Arthur Fleck had a lot of stories to tell. Of course, if "Joker" can have a sequel or a complete trilogy, then the audience must especially hope that the Joker can meet Batman.
