Joker 2: DC Black Label Is Dead as Todd Phillips Leaves DC
Todd Phillips is saying goodbye to the DC Universe. The director of “Joker: Folie à Deux” and the first DC Films production, the 2019 “Joker” which grossed $1 billion worldwide and earned him a Best Director nomination, has announced that there will be no “Joker 3”. Phillips stated to The Hollywood Reporter that “This movie isn’t really where this story is going for me. I feel like my time in the DC Universe was these two films.” In other words, he doesn’t plan to make another film about Arthur Fleck (played by Joaquin Phoenix) and his love interest, Lee (better known as Harley Quinn, played by Lady Gaga).
