Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga star as Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn, respectively, in Todd Phillips’ sequel to “Joker.” Here’s what to expect.
A “Joker” sequel titled “Joker: Folie à Deux” is set for release on October 4.
The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck and Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.
The film is a musical and will reportedly include at least 15 new versions of well-known songs.
Joaquin Phoenix is brushing off his dancing shoes and reapplying clown makeup to reprise his role as Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips’ upcoming “Joker” sequel.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” stars Phoenix as the titular DC Comics villain and Lady Gaga as the iconic character Harley Quinn.
Since Warner Bros. debuted the first trailer at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday, the internet has been buzzing with anticipation for “Joker 2.” It’s no surprise considering the response to Phillips’ 2019 film “Joker,” which was the first R-rated movie to cross $1 billion globally at the box office and won two Oscars for best actor (Phoenix) and best original score (Hildur Guðnadóttir).
With a reported $200 million budget for “Folie à Deux,” the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Deadline reported in 2022 that Zazie Beetz would reprise her role as Sophie Dumond in the sequel. In the first film, her character, a single mom who lives in the same apartment as Arthur, seems like Arthur’s love interest until a major plot twist reveals that their budding romance is a figment of Arthur’s imagination.
