Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix, who received critical acclaim for his performance in the dark thriller ‘Joker,’ has lately shown interest in revisiting the role in a sequel if one is made. The actor stated that there is a lot more to explore in a character like ‘Joker,’ and he would love to portray the role again.

Phoenix told ‘Playlist’ in an interview, “I mean, I’m not sure. We began to notice—you know, uhh, this is an unusual guy—while we were filming. There are certain things we could do with this individual that we should look into further. But how likely is it that we will? I’m not sure, “adding that he is dubious if the creators are willing to develop a sequel to the film.

While fans will have to wait to see whether Warner Brothers will give them another look at Arthur Fleck, Phoenix has always been willing to perform the part and experiment with his character, who is frequently referred to be a dark role.

Following the release of Joker in 2019, Phoenix informed well-known film reviewer Peter Travers that he intended to do more with his character as Arthur since the “possibilities” of where he might “go with the character” are “endless.”

‘Joker,’ for the uninitiated, was 2019 critically acclaimed dark criminal thriller film based on a DC Comic of the same name. The plot centers around Arthur Fleck, played by Joaquin Phoenix, an unsuccessful joker/comedian who is always alone in the crowd. The man is bullied and ignored by society, which sparks a violent counter-cultural revolution within him against the wealthy sector of society.

The film beautifully explores the mental health ramifications of a man who lives with varying masks to fool society or perhaps himself—one when he paints himself as a joker for his day job and another that he wears in an attempt to fool himself into believing that he is an accepted member of society.
