“Long before the release or before we had any idea if it would be successful, we talked about sequels. “In the second or third week of shooting, I was like: ‘Todd, can you start working on a sequel? There’s way too much to explore.’ It was kind of in jest — but not really,” he said.
Talking about the success of Joker, the movie has become the most successful r-rated movies of all time. Joker officially crossed $900M at the world wide box office within one month of release.
