Joaquin Phoenix has addressed longstanding that a Joker sequel is in development, indicating instead that Clown Prince of Crime’s return isn’t on the cards just ye෴t.

Speaking to , Phoenix suggested there’s plenty to mine after Arthur Fleck&rsquo✃;s billion-dollar bow back in 2019. He&🎃rsquo;s just not sure – and non-committal – on the chances of it happening.

"While Joaquin and I have talked about it, and while touring the world with Warner Bros. executives – going to Toronto, and Venice, and other places – of course, we’re sitting at dinner and they’re saying, ‘So, have you thought about…?’ But, tꩵalking about contracts, there’s not a contract for us to even write a sequel, we’ve never approached Joaquin to be in a sequel. Will that happen? Again, I just think the article was anticipatory at best.”
