‘Joker 2’ extras live in a society where they can’t even get a bathroom break

What do you get when you don't let your extras relieve themselves?

In a most ironic twist of fate, Joker 2 extras are accusing the movie producers of pulling a Jeff Bezos on them, with some of them reportedly working hours on end without getting a single bathroom break.

The cameras are rolling on the set of Todd Phillips’ hotly anticipated sequel, which is once again bringing Joaquin Phoenix back as Arthur Fleck aka Joker. The last time we saw the character, he murdered a late-night talk show host in cold blood and presided over city-wide protests in the streets.

It’s still unclear where Joker 2 is going to pick up the narrative, but considering the events of the original, which spawned a lot of heated debates over social inequality and class differences, it’s somewhat amusing to think that Todd Phillips and co. aren’t treating their extras with the respect they deserve.

Indeed, according to a report by TMZ, the Joker 2 extras have been berated over asking for bathroom breaks after long shoots. One person even had to explain to an assistant director why their business was urgent, which must have brought some not-very-fond memories of school classrooms back for them.

The SAG has received a complaint and is investigating a break time violation, though the production team has been cooperative through the process.

Warner Bros. might have a serious scheduling problem, as this isn’t the first time we hear of bathroom issues on the Joker set. During the filming of the original in 2018, extras criticized the company for denying them bathroom breaks, making us wonder if production is doing this on purpose at this point.
