In about six months, the new movie “Joker 2” will be released in cinemas. And as it became known, it will be very expensive. Its budget is allegedly $200 million and more than double the cost of creating the first part of 2019.
It is reported that 10% of the total budget is Joaquin Phoenix’s fee. For reprising the role of one of the main DC characters, he will receive $20 million. At the same time, Lady Gaga, who will play Harley Quinn, will receive $12 million for her role.
While $200 million is a lot, Joker was a huge success for Warner Bros., so it’s no surprise 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 surpass $1 billion at the box office.
Joker 2 also follows the trend of blockbusters, especially superhero movies, going bigger in budget. Despite the fact that “Joker” was supposed to be a separate film, its sequel was announced in 2022. The second part will be released on October 4.
