Summary
In this episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Capes and Cowls edition, Kristian dives into the latest news that Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips is officially done with the DC Universe. After the massive success of the first Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, fans had high hopes for the sequel, but early reviews for Joker 2 have been less than stellar. Could this affect the box office, or will Joker: Folie à Deux still deliver? Kristian also discusses the past buzz around Todd Phillips potentially taking over DC before James Gunn and Peter Safran took the reins, and whether Phillips’ departure from DC is a good move. Plus, we dive into the latest rumors surrounding Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, the newly released Joker: Folie à Deux trailer, and how Arthur Fleck's story could evolve in this musical sequel. Along with updates on DC and Warner Bros, we also touch on other hot topics like the upcoming Agatha spinoff, the ongoing Henry Cavill MCU rumors, and more. Join Kristian, Coy, and Winston as they break down all the latest in the world of DC Comics, WB, and beyond.
