Joker 2 Actor Discusses Role Experience

By August Tales

Connor Storrie recently spoke about his cameo in Warner Bros.’ “Joker: Folie á Deux”. He discussed his character’s climactic actions and their implications for the notorious villain’s forthcoming cinematic outings. At the climax of the murder-packed sequel, Storrie’s Arkham inmate delivers a gut-wrenching blow to Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck and proceeds to etch a grin onto his own countenance, devolving into maniacal laughter. Given this unexpected, spine-chilling finale, fans are divided. The question lingers: Is Storrie’s unnamed madman the true Joker in this world?

Of Knife-Slashes And Unanswered Questions

Acclaimed for his unexpected role in the film, Storrie spoke to TMZ, expertly hedging about the ending. “Without outright confirming or denying it, it was not closed ended regarding the theories of a New Joker,” he shared. The speculation about his character escalated rapidly among passionate fans. Despite the animated debates, Storrie insisted from the onset that “Joker: Folie á Deux” was about culminating Arthur Fleck’s journey, not spinning off a new Joker.

Flirting with Future Possibility or Simply a Supporting Role?

“For me, it was clear that it was Joaquin’s film – centered around Arthur – so I always saw my place in it that way,” he stated. Storrie underscored the point that the film invites audiences to accompany Arthur throughout, leaving no room for the narrative to deviate. Genuine enthusiasm shone through his words as he shared, “I was just so excited to be there, I didn’t consider the implications. I was just thinking, ‘I can’t believe I’m here; I’m doing this.'”

When the Curtain Closes on Arthur Fleck

All stories must end and it seems “Joker: Folie á Deux” signals the curtain call for Arthur Fleck’s narrative. Todd Phillips, the movie’s writer-director, recently stated that he felt his DC Universe journey was embodied in these two films. This sentiment echoed his earlier declaration, suggesting that Folie á Deux allowed him to articulate all he intended in this twisted realm.

Cinematic Uncertainty Ahead

Critical to the discussion is the sequel’s earnings. “Joker: Folie á Deux” has fared poorly at the box office so far, casting doubt on Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ future plans for the franchise. For now, the viciously grinning criminal mastermind’s future remains shrouded in mystery.
