The plot followed the psychological decline of the movie’s lead, failing party clown and want-to-be comic Arthur Fleck, as well as the social pressures that changed him from a despondent loner to a ruthless killer who instigated a wave of violence in the made-up city of Gotham City.
Warner Bros. Did Not Provide Additional Information
Warner Bros. did not immediately provide any additional information about the sequel. However, according to Hollywood trade journal Variety, the new project will be a musical and Lady Gaga is slated to portray Harley Quinn, the Joker’s accomplice.
Phoenix, 47, who is known for portraying moody or tormented characters, received a great deal of praise for what many critics called as one of the eeriest and most terrifying performances in contemporary cinema.
He was the second actor to win an Oscar for portraying the Joker, following Heath Ledger, who received the posthumous award for best supporting actor in 2008 for his portrayal of the character in The Dark Knight.
