Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix appear in new footage of the second "Joker"
Director Todd Phillips posted two new footage of "Joker: Folie à Deux" on his social media accounts, featuring the Joker and Harley Quinn. "Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a beautiful new year.", — Phillips signed the post.
The action of the sequel to 2019's "Joker" will unfold in the Arkham mental institution for criminals, where the Joker found himself after the murder of Murray Franklin. That's where he will meet Harley Quinn.
Joaquin Phoenix will return to the role of the Joker, while Harley Quinn will be played by Lady Gaga. Margot Robbie has previously played the role in DC Comics movies. In an interview with MTV News in 2022, Robbie said she was happy Harley would be played by Lady Gaga:
"All I want for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way like Macbeth or Batman, always get passed from great actor to great actor. It's such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. I think she'll [Lady Gaga] do something incredible with her".
"Joker: Folie à Deux" is set to premiere on October 4, 2024.
