On top of that, the film earned 11 Oscar nominations—including Best Picture and Best Director for Todd Phillips—and won two statuettes, including Best Actor for Phoenix for his turn as Arthur Fleck/Joker.
With that sort of success a sequel was all but guaranteed, so five years later Phoenix and Phillips are back with Joker: Folie à Deux.
Phillips has raised the stakes with the sequel, as he imbued the crime drama/psychological thriller with musical numbers to give the film a jukebox musical feel thanks to the addition of pop superstar-actor Lady Gaga as Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn.
