‘Joker 2’ will have a budget almost three times bigger than the original

In true Hollywood fashion, the sequel to the incredibly successful 2019 Joker film, Joker: Folie à Deux, will go bigger and (hopefully) better. The sequel will see the return of Joaquin Phoenix’s fantastic portrayal of Arthur Fleck, aka Joker, and also introduce Lady Gaga as the Joker’s iconic paramour, Harley Quinn. Fans are already buzzing over the film’s announcement and it would seem that DC is really going to be giving it their all, with a budget three times bigger than the original.

2019’s Joker, an interpretation of the famous unhinged clown’s origin, cost a mere $55 million to make, which is chump change when it comes to superhero (DC or Marvel) offerings. However, the commercial success of the film saw over $1 billion at the box office, the first R-rated film to do so. If you compare this to DC’s Justice League, one of the most expensive films ever made at $300 million, which only brought in just over $650 million resulting in a loss for Warner Bros of around $60 million, it proves that money does not mean everything.
