Joaquin Phoenix’s fans say he deserves more because it affects his mental health:
Joaquin Phoenix first portrayed Joker in the titular movie by Todd Phillips. The character is one of the most infamous villain roles, and not only from the DC comic universe. He had earned $4.5 million for 2019’s Joker. This movie went on and earned more than $1 billion and this also got Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar.
If there is going to be a Joker 2 by Warner Bros, then the actor will take $20 million. Yet, after this, his fans say he deserves more. Many have argued that the other actors who have been in a franchise for more than a decade take even less fee, but the fans say this particular movie will also impact his mental health. So, keeping all the things in mind, he deserves more according to the fans.
