Joaquin Phoenix is now getting $20M for Joker 2, but yet fans say he deserves more. We have all been interested in the lives of our Hollywood stars, and at one point we even wondered how much they get paid for their work. The news tells that Tom Cruise is relatively taking a low fee for his next two Mission Impossible movies.

He has asked for a significant percentage of what the movie makes from the first day of its release.

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.

That's too small for a movie that will likely impact his mental health

Sounds about right. He’s won an Oscar (which already boosts his salary) for the role, and WB knows he’s gonna be the main selling point. Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a producing credit this time
