At long last, the world finally gets its first look at Todd Phillips long awaited sequel to 2019’s “Joker” - as the very first trailer for “ Joker: Folie à Deux” is here and shows off Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck meeting Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn in a love story that’s part musical, part insanity.
Joker: Folie à Deux will be released this October.
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.

One of the darkest and most disturbing psychological thriller films based on one of the most recognizable DC Comics villains is officially getting a sequel, as Todd Phillips confirma with an Instagram post that he is officially working on a sequel to his 2019 movie “Joker”, with his star and actor Joaquin Phoenix set to return as the titular character also known as Arthur Fleck - a role that nabbed him “Best Actor” at the 92nd Academy Awards.
Also winning the prestigious “Golden Lion” award at the 76th International Film Festival, “Joker” was meant to be a standalone film and has no ties to any other existing DC or Batman films, but Phillips has now confirmed he is working on the sequel - with the working title in the script being called “Joker: Folie à Deux”.
A pic of Joaquin was also shared reading the script too.
It remains to be seen when shooting will start or what the details of the follow-up will be - but hopefully we’ll know more soon.
