Joker 2 Release Date: What Will Be The Plot And Where To Watch the Joker?
Fans of the Joker movie have been eagerly awaiting news of a sequel. The first film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $1 billion at the box office and earning Joaquin Phoenix an Academy Award for Best Actor. But despite rumors circulating online, there has been no official confirmation of a Joker 2 release date.
Sources close to the production have suggested that writer-director Todd Phillips is currently working on a script, and that Phoenix is interested in returning to the role. However, nothing has been confirmed by either Phillips or Warner Bros, the studio behind the franchise.
Assuming a follow-up film does indeed materialize, what might fans expect from the plot? The original film was a standalone story that did not connect to any other DC Comics or Batman-related properties. However, it did hint at the possibility of future conflicts between the Joker and the Dark Knight.
If a sequel does explore that classic dynamic, it could chart the rise of a new Batman in response to the chaos caused by Phoenix’s Joker. Alternatively, the film could delve deeper into the Joker’s own past and psyche, exploring his motivations and backstory further.
As for where to watch Joker 2, the answer is likely to be in theaters. Despite the rising popularity of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, big-budget blockbusters like the Joker franchise still tend to favor release in cinemas first. However, it remains to be seen how the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic will affect theatrical releases in the coming months and years.
Ultimately, fans of the Joker movie will have to wait for official confirmation from Phillips and Warner Bros before they can start getting excited about a follow-up film. But with interest in the character still high and the first movie breaking records, it seems likely that a sequel could be on the horizon sooner rather than later.
