Sing Along With Joaquin Phoenix & Lady Gaga In The Latest Trailer For JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX

Joker: Folie À Deux could be a disaster, it could possibly be an awards winner or it might even become a forgotten footnote to one of the most divisive and controversial comic book movies of the last 20 years. However, one thing’s for sure, Todd Phillips seems to be taking another bold swing with this sequel to 2019’s Academy Award-winning, billion dollar grossing Joker.

Allegedly a pseudo-musical, Joker: Folie a Deux once again stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck/Joker – this time opposite Lady Gaga (who apparently plays Harley Quinn). Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener and Zazie Beetz co-star. 

Look, I have no idea how this will sequel to the Batman spin-off will turn out. I enjoyed Phillips’ Joker – even though I found it derivative of other, better movies (read my review) – so I’m willing to give it a shot. Will it ruin the mystique of it’s predecessor or will the same cultural lighting strike in the same place twice?

We’ll find out when Joker: Folie À Deux opens on 4th October, 2024.

The synopsis:

Joker: Folie À Deux” finds Arthur Fleck institutionalised at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that’s always been inside him.
