Joker 2 Sets Release Date for October 2024, Lady Gaga Casting Confirmed With Short Musical Teaser Video

 

Todd Phillips Joker sequel officially gets a release date, as the director and Warner Bros. have set "Joker: Folie à Deux" for a October 4, 2024 release in the US - Five years after the release of the 2019 psychological drama film that won the Golden Lion at the 76th Venice International Film Festival as well as Academy Awards for Best Actor and Best Original Score.

Based on the character of the same name from DC Comics and the Batman universe, "Joker" took things in a different spin and cast Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck - a failed stand up comedian who eventually spirals into insanity and madness in 1981 Gotham City that inspires a counter culture revolution come the end of the movie. The sequel will see Phoenix returning to the role, with musician and actress Lady Gaga confirmed to join the cast.
