Joker 2 is going to be titled “Folie a Deux”. But what does that mean? Here is the explanation of why Todd Phillips has chosen that name.
This past morning, as reported Variety exclusively, we have learned that Joker 2 It already has an official title. is going to be titled Joker: Folie a Deux. But what is the meaning behind this choice of words? Warner Bros. Pictures Y DC Comics have made it official that the script of Todd Phillips for the sequel is written. The project is now entering the development phase and has been written by Phillips himself and Scott Silver. As you can see, the cover is red and has the title and those credited for the work in neat black letters.

Todd Phillips has also shared an image of joaquin phoenix reading the script Joker 2. In a way, he is confirming to us that the actor will once again play the Clown Prince of Crime in the sequel. Details about the second installment of the villain’s solo story from Batman they have not transpired. They are still unknown. We will soon know much more as the weeks go by. However, we can put the focus on the subtitle Folie a Deux. What is its meaning? The answer could be related to the hidden plot of the second part.
The three possibilities that the story of the sequel would give
The literal meaning of the expression “folie a deux” is as follows: delusion or mental illness shared by two people who have a close bond. That is the meaning of the title Joker 2. However, which two people is he referring to? Obviously, here opens the term for speculation. If we take into account what we have seen in the first installment and how the film ends, the most sensible thing would be to believe that this “close bond” would be built around the villain and a BruceWayne who just lost his parents because of the revolution started by the Clown Prince of Crime.
This means that Joker 2 Will you also explore the consequences of the Wayne tragedy in the figure of Bruce? Not necessarily. We could also speculate about a possible appearance of harley quinn. Maybe we’ll see a doctor Harleen Quinzel trying to help the Clown Prince of Crime after the events of the first installment. Todd Phillips could explore many psychological concepts in the figure of Harley Quinn, although the comparisons between his version and that of margot robbie they would not wait on social networks. However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to stick with the more mental aspect.
And finally, the other possibility is the existence of other villains like him. After all, the version of Joaquin Phoenix is just one more. Recently, in batmanWe see to Barry Keoghan show another approximation. It may be that the character of Phoenix is used for the appearance of new murderers and related psychopaths in Joker 2. That would be the “delusion or mental illness shared by two people who have a close bond.” What do you think of all this?
