Joaquin Phoenix is one of two actors to win an Oscar for playing the Joker. Phoenix starred as the DC villain in two solo films, 2019's "Joker" and the new sequel "Joker: Folie à Deux." Director Todd Phillips' approach of making the Joker a more realistic and human character appealed to critics, and the film won two Oscars. By contrast, the sequel film has bombed with critics and fans alike and currently has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 39%. AdvertisementIn August, Phillips seemed to suggest to Variety that there wouldn't be another "Joker" sequel when he said: "I think we've said what we wanted to say in this world."
