“Day 1. Our boy. #joker,” Phillips wrote in a simple caption. The filmmaker shared an image of Joaquin Phoenix in character as Arthur Fleck. The homicidal Arkham Asylum convict is lying dead-eyed as he’s receiving a shave from what appears to be an orderly at the facility.
Joker, also directed by Todd Phillips, fetched a whopping 11 Academy Award nominations, and a Golden Lion win at the Venice Film Festival. It was also a whopping box office success, with global ticket sales topping $1 billion.
According to reports, the Joker sequel, which has been described as a musical, will pick up with Phoenix’s killer clown after he has been admitted to Arkham. Phoenix won the Oscar for best actor for his performance in the original. Joker: Folie a Deux is set for release on October 9, 2024 — exactly five years following the release of the original film.
