No next Joker movie has been announced. Warner Bros. has not dated a third film, and no director, script, or cast deal is confirmed. The most recent entry, Joker: Folie à Deux, opened in US theaters on October 4, 2024. Until the studio issues a dated press release, there is no release date to track.

Joker Movie Release Timeline

  • Joker (2019): US theatrical release October 4, 2019.
  • Joker: Folie à Deux (2024): US theatrical release October 4, 2024.
  • Third Joker film: no announcement, no date, no title.

Why a Third Film Is Not Confirmed

Director Todd Phillips has said he told the story he wanted to tell across two films. Folie à Deux drew a sharp drop in ticket sales compared with the 2019 original, and studios weigh that result against budget and marketing spend before committing to another chapter. Warner Bros. has also shifted its DC slate toward a rebooted shared universe, which changes how standalone Joker projects fit into the plan. None of those factors rule out a third film. They simply mean nothing is greenlit today.

How to Track a Future Announcement

  1. Check the Warner Bros. Pictures press room page once a month for dated release slates.
  2. Set a news alert for the exact phrase "Joker 3" and for "Joker sequel greenlight."
  3. Watch trade outlets such as Variety, Deadline, and The Hollywood Reporter for casting and director deals.
  4. Confirm any date against the studio's own calendar before you plan around it.
  5. Ignore leaked dates from fan accounts unless a trade outlet repeats them.

What Usually Signals a Greenlight

A project moves from rumor to real in a set order. First comes a writer or director attachment, then a studio confirmation, then a dated slot on the release calendar. Trailers and posters arrive in the final months. If you see only step one, the film is still years away from a theater near you.

Common Questions

Is there a Joker 3 release date?

No. Any specific date you see online right now is unverified.

New Joker Release: The Ultimate Guide

Will Joaquin Phoenix return?

There is no confirmed deal. Treat casting talk as speculation until the studio announces it.

Is the Joker in other DC films?

Separate Batman projects may use the character with a different actor. That would be a new franchise, not a sequel.
