    Neither Phillips nor Phoenix was even sure about making a sequel and, for a time, contemplated putting on a Broadway show instead, before ultimately committing to the movie and bringing aboard Gaga in a role inspired by the comic book character Harley Quinn. The idea for the sequel came to Phoenix in a dream, and he and Phillips brought the idea to Emmerich, according to sources.

    In the end, some are saying that Joker: Folie à Deux is a very expensive art film. But when asked who the intended audience was, one outside source sums it up this way: “For Joaquin.”

    I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall:

    I don't want to make a sequel movie to Joker.

    Well wait until you hear this: Joaquin has had a dream...

    Oh dear.

    And they are going to pay you $20M each!

    I'm listening.
