In about six months, the new film “Joker 2” will be released in theaters. And as has already become known, it will be very expensive. Its budget is supposedly $200 million and is more than double the cost of creating the first part in 2019.
It is reported that 10% of the total budget comes from Joaquin Phoenix's fee. He will receive $20 million for reprising the role of one of the main DC characters. At the same time, Lady Gaga, who will play Harley Quinn, will receive $12 million for her role.
While that $200 million figure is a lot, Joker was a huge success for Warner Bros., so it wouldn't be surprising that the studio would want to invest heavily in a sequel. In addition to winning numerous awards and becoming the sixth highest-grossing film of 2019, it was also the first R-rated film to top $1 billion at the box office.
Joker 2 also follows the trend of blockbusters, especially superhero films, increasing their budgets. Even though Joker was supposed to be a standalone film, a sequel was announced for 2022. The second part will be released on October 4.
