After months of uncertainty, writer and director Todd Phillips finally confirmed via Instagram that Joker 2 is not only happening, but that it already has a script.
Ever since the 2019 Joker movie proved a massive hit with fans and critics alike and netted star Joaquin Phoenix a well-earned Academy Award, the question of whether there would be a sequel has hung in the air.
After all, it's hard to imagine Warner Bros. passing on an opportunity to capitalize on a movie that made them over a billion dollars and spawned the enduring debate over whether Heath Ledger or Phoenix was the best Joker.
But of course, such a prospect could only seem promising as long as both Phillips and Phoenix were interested in doing another movie and a recent update from the director suggests some good signs in that department.
