Despite all the rumors about the highly anticipated Joker sequel with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, the director confirmed that the film will not be a musical, but music will be an essential part of the story.
Todd Phillips confessed to Variety that the upcoming movie, set to hit theaters on October 4th, leans towards being “primarily a jukebox musical”, due to the number of hits on the soundtrack.
