Helmed by Todd Phillips, the plot details of 'Joker: Folie a Deux' are under tight wraps. The title of the film means shared delusional disorder and hints at how Arthur`s villainy might be embraced by the residents of the fictional Gotham City.&nbsp;

The first part of the film garnered more than $1 billion worldwide and was declared a blockbuster, reported Variety. 'Joker' earned 12 Oscar nominations for best director, best picture, and best-adapted screenplay. Phoenix bagged the best actor Oscar.

'Joker' depicted the life of struggling comedian Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) who is reframed into an anti-hero, taking the name of Joker. Warner Bros, the studio behind 'Joker' recently shelved the much-awaited film 'Batgirl' despite being nearly completed, and will not release on theatres or HBO Max. &nbsp;

'Joker' was supposed to be a standalone film, but after the R-rated tentpole generated more than $1 billion globally and earned Phoenix an Oscar, a sequel was preordained. Naturally, the actor is asking for big bucks to reprise his sinister role as Arthur Fleck; Phoenix`s paycheck for 'Folie a Deux' will be $20 million, Variety reported.
