Todd Phillips Would Be Open to 'Joker' Sequel if Joaquin Phoenix is on Board

Joker isn't even out yet and already director Todd Phillips is talking about a sequel. In an interview with Total Film Magazine, as reported by ComicBook.com, the director said he would only do it if star Joaquin Phoenix was also down.

“One thing I will tell you: I would do anything with Joaquin, any day of the week. There’s nobody like him,” Philips said. “If he was willing to do it, and if people show up to this movie, and Warners came to us and said, ‘You know what? If you guys could think of something…’ Well, I have a feeling that he and I could think of something pretty cool.”

Phoenix has yet to speak on a potential sequel, but we guess Warner Bros. will have to wait and see how well the first film does in order to even gauge the possibility. Joker opens in theaters on Oct. 4 of this year.
