'Joker' Sequel in the Works as Todd Phillips Eyes More DC Origin Movies (Exclusive)

. But its $60 million budget is far less than those previous films, so it is almost assured of generating profits of more than $500 million .

The unexpected bounty also is generating a huge payday for Phillips, 48. Sources say the director will earn close to $100 million when the dust has settled . In fact, the deal is similar to one he struck with Warners before the firstmovie, which went on to earn a surprise $467.5 million worldwide in 2009 off a $35 million budget .Still, he won't be exploring Batman's backstory.

As for a DC villain origin story that could be mined next, Phillips would be well suited for either Darkseid, a tyrannical ruler who is worshipped by some as the god of evil, or Metropolis' power-mad one-percenter, Lex Luthor.A version of story first appeared in the Nov. 20 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.

Stupidity

Still lying? Shameless

Yall lie. Hollywood liars

JesabelRaay I really want to see The Riddler characterized more like a charming, evil genius like Hannibal Lecter rather than the goofball that Jim Carey played. It would make for an amazing thriller! DCEU Joker Batman Riddler

It is amazing how PURGE MENTALITY has captured the world. Hannibal is BACK. Most of the movie goers enjoy human destruction? Killing with extreme prejudice? Non stop elimination of mankind is preposterous and draconian. Hooray for making $1 billion and doing a sequel.

Didn’t we just go over this like 2 days ago. It is happening, it isn’t happening, and now the story is that it’s “Likely” to happen.
