I’d be down for this.

There is something interesting about, like, if there was a Joker imposter,” Dafoe explained. “So it would be possible to have not duelling Jokers but someone that says to be the Joker that isn’t the Joker. And that kind of opens up the possibility of an interesting story, particularly if you had Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, and then you had someone who was either imitating or riffing off what he did. I fantasised about that.”

A solid idea, but it remains just that for now. “Other than that I am not talking to anybody [about it],” Dafoe added.

Willem Dafoe Pitches How He Could Join Joaquin Phoenix in 'Joker' Sequel - Screen Realm

That's a pretty interesting idea actually. Would be a really good way to have a sequel without it turning into a Batman movie.

 

[Editaur]

Could be a great way to lead in Scarecrow.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Actually it would be more interesting if he also played "the joker" not as an imitator but as the real joker ...and its ambiguous who is the actual joker. It goes with the jokers non history.

 

[mansoor1980]

sounds good to me

you know phoenix , im something of a joker my self

 

[JCK75]

There would be no better joker than him.. needs to happen.. whoever chose Jared Leto should never work again.

 

[haxan7]

they need to have him flop his freakishly long flaccid penis around a little.

 

[Scotty W]

Kind of a Dostoyevsky The Double idea. I can dig it.

 

[DeafTourette]

So... Kinda like "The 3 Jokers" story?

 

[FunkMiller]

It could be an interesting way of portraying multiple Jokers in the same narrative. Given how popular No Way Home was, why not?

 

[Rurhanograthul02]

This is almost verbatim a Quote from a Batman Comic Book I'd Read, where Dafoe is imitating the Joker to apprehend him as Old Man Batman - which ends abruptly in the Middle
of a Large Seating Arrangement inside a Movie Theater with Dafoe knocked back on his heels, sitting in the Middle of the Movie Theater waiting for the Joker.
Except Dafoe is not known by his Acting name, he is known as Bruce Wayne!! But Bruce Wayne is Dafoe!!

DoubleJOKER?! Nice!

 

[FunkMiller]

Barry Keoghan be like

 

[WoJ]

Joker sucked. Trash movie doesn't deserve a sequel.

 

[Kraz]

If it gets gorier from where it left off that could be quite a spectacle. There's a lot of cool ways the story could go. Imaging a 70s Warriors/Bronson/zombie-like movie from Joker narrative.

 

[FunkMiller]

Ppretty sure there’s not going to be another one of these… not with The Batman coming.

But I would like to see other villains get similar treatment, Lex Luthor for instance.

 

[dr_octagon]

Brad Dourif would be a good choice for the Joker

 

[jason10mm]

I'm of the opinion that actors like Willem Dafoe should be filmed in as many roles as possible before they are taken from us because we won't see their like again for many a generation.

I wanna see Willem as Little Red Robin Hood to Schwarzenegger as the Wolf because WHY THE FUCK NOT before these legends leave us.

We've probably lost Eastwood as Old Man Wayne in a Batman Beyond show, let's not lose this chance!

No

 

[-BLITZ-]

Why in the world I have a strange feeling that I'm hearing Andrew Ryan (bioshock) interpretation than a Joker one.

 

[Halo is Back]

Joker sucked. Trash movie doesn't deserve a sequel.

Joker was amazing but doesn't really need a sequel.

 

[WoJ]

Joker was amazing but doesn't really need a sequel.

I stand by it. Joker was trash.

 

[PhaseJump]

I wouldn't mind seeing a Joker sequel. Call it Jokers.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Dafoe is one of the coolest actors ever, he portrays villains especially well, and he has the face for one. This would be amazing, not even just to cast him as Joker in particular, but, find this man any villain to play.

 

[dr_octagon]

The Joker we deserve

 

[Hugare]

This man was basically born to be the Joker

Someone must give him the role before he dies or become too old

Interesting idea. But the Joker in the movie was locked up and they know his real identity.

 

[Ionian]

The Joker we deserve

Took me a few seconds but the kid is the spitting-image of young Boba Fett in the cartoons.

Coincidence? I think not.
