Joker director Todd Phillips has revealed he would consider working on a sequel to the upcoming origin movie, but only if Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as the titular character.
In an interview with Total Film, Phillips suggested there could be potential for a Joker sequel, though it would be dependent on a few conditions, chief among them being that Phoenix steps into the shoes of the Clown Prince of Crime once again.
“One thing I will tell you: I would do anything with Joaquin, any day of the week,” Phillips said. “There’s nobody like him. If he was willing to do it, and if people show up to this movie, and Warners came to us and said, ‘You know what? If you guys could think of something…’ Well, I have a feeling that he and I could think of something pretty cool.”
