'Joker' Director Reveals If Joaquin Phoenix Knows About A Possible Sequel

Joaquin Phoenix takes a phone call while on the set of his new movie in Central Park, New York City, on Wednesday afternoon (December 11).

The -year-old actor recently received nominations at the SAG Awards, Golden Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards for his starring role in Joker.

In reacting to his own nomination, Joker director Todd Phillips admitted that he hadn’t spoken to Joaquin about a sequel so far.

“Before we started shooting, I really knew how invested he was in this role and knew we possibly had something very special ahead of us,” Todd shared (via Variety). “As for a sequel, it’s way too early [to tell]. I swear I haven’t even talked to Joaquin about that yet or what that would even be.”

However, it seems that a sequel could be in the works after the big box office success.
