I talked to Todd a lot about what else we might be able to do, in general, just to work together, but also specifically, if there’s something else we can do with Joker that might be interesting. So, it ended up being a dream role. Me and Todd would still be shooting now if we could, right? Because it seemed endless, the possibilities of where we can go with the character.”The development of the sequel began in 2021, and the working title of the project was revealed to be Joker: Folie à Deux. On August 3, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that the film will be released on October 4, 2024. Actors Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey have been cast in key roles in the much-anticipated movie.With Todd's Instagram post, it was implied that the filming of Joker 2 has finally started.
