Something that he made clear is that this film, like the original, is not based on a single one. But it is taking advantage of what was created in Hollywood in a particular era.
Phillips, speaking of joker 2 and its predecessor ‘the biggest influence on the first part was a time when the movies were made’. To the above, he added ‘yes, clearly, there are films made by Martin Scorsese — Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy — that clearly appear in the DNA of the original film’.

Later, this filmmaker highlighted ‘but in reality it was the 70s in general, the cinema that decade, there is a lot of Network in this’.
Todd Phillips also commented ‘There’s Serpico in my mind, there’s Dog Day Afternoon in this one. All those movies I loved as a child found their place in this one.. But in the case of joker 2 the influence is something different.
Phillips revealed ‘in this one, again it’s not a specific film, but it’s a different era and it’s reminiscent of a lot of the old Hollywood musicals in those fantasy moments’. This despite the fact that this sequel does not belong to that genre.
The director of joker 2 he finished by saying ‘and it also continues on a cinematographic level the language of the first film’. According to schedule, this film will mark the end of this saga. Todd Phillips has long commented that he is not planning a third film about the story of Arthur Fleck.
