Tim Dillon, who makes a brief appearance in Joker: Folie à Deuce, has described the new sequel as “terrible” and “the worst movie ever made.”
The sequel to the 2019 Oscar-winning film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (Joker) and Lady Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), faced negative reviews before its October 4 release and flopped at the box office.
Tim, 39, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum in the film, said Todd Philips’ new film “has no plot” and admitted he knew it was “going to fail” during filming.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said: “It’s the worst movie ever made.”
“I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, ‘Oh, incels loved this.’ This was loved by the wrong kind of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage!” Nihilism! All these opinion articles.

“And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way?’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point where it’s crazy.”
He continued: ‘There is no argument. We’d sit there, me and these other guys were dressed in this security gear because we’re working at Arkham Asylum, and I’d turn to one of them and we’d listen to this crap and I’d be like, ‘What? What the fuck is this? And they were like, ‘This is going to be a bomb, man.’ I say, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life.’
‘We were talking about it at lunch and we were saying, ‘What’s the plot? Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in prison? You can’t even see it with hatred. That’s how terrible it is.
Despite negative reviews, several fans of the sequel took to social media after its release last month to defend the sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 film.
The film debuted to a measly $40 million at the domestic box office, good enough for the weekend’s top spot, but less than projections, and half as much as its predecessor.
Amid early returns, several fans took to the film and its cinematic depth, breaking with the typical nature of sequels to introduce a musical element that was not present in the first film, with Lady Gaga joining the franchise.
“Joker 2 was amazing,” said one user, adding that it was “100% as divisive as people think it is.” I love that the movie didn’t try to be a traditional sequel and fully committed to the narrative they were presenting. It never strayed into being a movie full of Easter eggs or any other crowd-pleasing aspect.”
Another user said: “I loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as a meta-exploration of the first film’s fandom and the musical elements were a lot of fun.”

Despite negative reviews, several fans of the sequel took to social media after its release last month to defend the sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 film.
One user marveled that Joker 2 is “receiving universal hate despite being more interesting and creative than anything Marvel has been expected to do in years.”
It comes after leading star Lady Gaga was left “disappointed” by the immense avalanche of negative reaction to Joker: Folie à Deux, and the singer’s team are now set to quickly push through other projects to help distract from the furore over the movie, say internal sources. .
Todd Phillips’ sequel has flopped, grossing just under $40 million at the domestic box office and receiving the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history.
Gaga, 38, is reportedly confused by the lack of love for her role as Harleen Lee Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, opposite Joaquin Phoenix, 49, as the Joker, a role that earned her the Oscar for best actor in 2019, following the standing ovation he received at the Venice Film Festival last month.
“Gaga is surprised by the response to Joker 2 and is surprised that people don’t like it after the response she received from critics before its release,” a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.
“He put a lot of heart into the movie and has a lot of respect for the DC comics fan base.”
They added: “Their team is quietly looking at other projects they can implement as they want to move forward as quickly as possible.”

But despite the lackluster reception from fans, a second source claimed she won’t let it stop her from returning to the big screen, with the singer said to be eyeing a Quentin Tarantino film.
“She’s disappointed that Joker is practically a bomb,” they said.
“She thought this movie could get her an Oscar nomination, especially since the first movie was a huge hit and Joaquin won an Oscar.
“Now she would like to land a role in Quentin Tarantino’s next and final film. Nobody knows what it will be, but she wants to audition.
“She’s going to push hard to get a meeting with him once the script is submitted; it’s a bucket-list moment for her to be involved.”
