Joker: Folie a Deux

During a recent interview with Empire, director Todd Phillips confirmed Arthur Fleck never becomes the criminal mastermind of the film’s namesake.

We would never do that. Because Arthur clearly is not a criminal mastermind. He was never that. Arthur has become this symbol to people. This unwilling, unwitting symbol now paying for the crimes of the first film, but at the same time finding the only thing he ever wanted, which was love. That’s always what he’s been about, even though he’s been pushed and pulled in all these directions. So we tried to just make the most pure version of that.
