Harley Quinn joins the Joker in this Halloween season’s Joker: Folie à Deux, director Todd Phillips’ hotly anticipated sequel to the billion dollar box office hit Joker (2019).
The sequel brings Joker back to theaters on October 4, 2024, and the official trailer has debuted this morning. Accept your invitation to the Joker & Harley Show down below.
Joaquin Phoenix will be joined by Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in the sequel, which has been rated “R” for “strong violence, language, sexuality, and brief full nudity.”
Joker: Folie À Deux finds Arthur Fleck institutionalized 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.
The 2019 movie amassed more than $1 billion at the global box office and earned 11 Academy Awards nominations, landing a Best Actor win for Phoenix and Best Original score for composer Hildur Guðnadóttir. The upcoming sequel Joker: Folie à Deux is said to be something of a “jukebox musical,” meaning a musical filled with existing songs rather than original songs.
“Folie à Deux” is a term meaning “shared psychosis” or “shared delusional disorder,” which perfectly encapsulates the twisted relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn.
Zazie Beetz will reprise the role of Sophie Dumond from Joker, while Brendan Gleeson (“Mr. Mercedes”) and Catherine Keener (Get Out, “Brand New Cherry Flavor”) also star.
Todd Phillips and Scott Silver wrote the sequel to the hit 2019 movie.
