They leak the surprising ‘original’ plot that ‘Joker 2’ was going to have: was it better?

“Joker 2: Folie à Deux” left fans speechless who saw it… probably very few people, since the box office shows that it has been a resounding failure since its premiere on October 3. And, beyond being a musical, the film’s plot left something to be desired, but There are already fan theories that say that everything could have been different.

It turns out that in an interview with “Variety”, director Todd Phillips said that I was planning to do that “Joker 2” was a Broadway musicalsomething totally different from what we know from the sequel.

Besides, supposedly the ending where Arthur Fleck is killed in Arkham was not going to happen as is. Just as you read!

According to leaks, instead of the villain being stabbed by one of his followers, It would be Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn) who closed the act by murdering the person he admired so much, officially becoming the villain we all know..

This crazy theory arises after it will be revealed that the plot that was presented in The sequel to “Joker” arose from a dream of Joaquin Phoenix.. At least that’s what “The Hollywood Reporter” says in one of its articles, where they cited an anonymous source.

Why are they criticizing “Joker 2” so much?

“Joker 2” is harshly criticized by the press and by the fans for the surprising result of the multimillion-dollar production it had. Yes, it was revealed that Todd’s film cost $200 million.plus advertising expenses. Three times more than the first movie!

However, the result was poorer compared to its predecessor.

Until now, “Joker 2” has raised 164 million 959 thousand dollars worldwidewhich is a failure, since it has not even managed to cover its production costs.

It is even possible that movie theaters will gradually remove dates and times from the film due to the lack of interest on the part of the public, making it arrive soon on streaming platforms.

When does “Joker 2” premiere on HBO Max?

The movie “Joker 2” still does not have an official streaming release datebut it is known that it will come to HBO Max no matter what, since it is owned by Warner Discovery.

It is common for films to arrive in the catalog two months after their release in theaters, although it is possible that the company makes a move similar to what it did with “The Flash,” which was also a failure. So, we may see “Folie à Deux” in November or December on Max.
