But if this is Phillips' goal, it will still have to be a movie rooted in Joker's point of view. One potential direction fans could expect the sequel to go is in examining Arthur's relationship to his maybe step-brother, now orphaned Bruce Wayne. We don't even know for sure that Bruce Wayne will grow up to avenge his parents (who are killed during the riots) in this particular world. That feels like a very comic book move, though, and would feel out of place in the world that Phillips has set Joker in. Now, of course, the scope is there for a sequel because Arthur – or Joker as he asks Murray to call him – is still alive, and there's always the chance that he could be broken out of the hospital. The final shot of the movie is him dancing down the corridor of the hospital, leaving red footprints in his wake (presumably having killed the doctor examining him). The final scene shows Arthur locked up in Arkham State Hospital, presumably arrested after the riots which tore through Gotham City were dispersed by the police. Where this sequel will go seems a bit vague, since by the end of Joker, Arthur had completed his transformation into the eponymous villain and was, well, locked up. The only other potential returns we could think of, right now, is that of Douglas Hodge as Alfred Pennyworth and Dante Pereira-Olson as Bruce Wayne, but would Phillips want to go down the Joker vs Batman route? Joker 2 plot: What will Joker 2 be about? While her fate in the movie was ambiguous, Phillips has confirmed that Joker didn't kill her.īeetz didn't seem too keen on a Joker sequel in February 2020, but did add that if Phillips was returning (which he apparently is), she could be persuaded. There aren't many other characters who could return for a sequel, but there's always the chance we'll see Zazie Beetz again as Arthur's neighbour Sophie.
