It should surprise no one, but Warner Bros. is apparently moving ahead with a sequel to Joker.

The report was focused on Hollywood's most powerful lawyers, one of whom is Warren Dern, who counts Phillips as a client.
The report did not say if Phillips will return as director or if Warner Bros. will look to hire someone else. Also unknown is whether or not Phoenix will come back.
