New Joker: Folie à Deux images reveal another look at Harley Quinn and Arthur Fleck as filming officially wraps. Todd Phillips is continuing to build out his Elseworlds franchise by telling the Joker’s next story. After the first film’s massive success in 2019, a sequel is coming, featuring Joaquin Phoenix’s return as the Clown Prince of Crime. Titled Joker: Folie à Deux, production has been ongoing for the last few months.
However, as of this week, Joker: Folie à Deux has officially wrapped principal photography. The official DC Comics account, along with Phillips, confirmed the news on their respective social media accounts.
To celebrate filming wrapping, new images were shared of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn and Phoenix’s Joker. Joker: Folie à Deux is currently scheduled to come out in October 2024.
Everything We Know About Joker 2
Joker: Folie à Deux, which translates to “madness of two,” focuses on Arthur’s life after the events of the 2019 installment. With the introduction of Lady Gaga as Harley, the Elseworld story will tell a new tale of their dynamic. While Arkham Asylum is involved, it’s unclear if Harley’s traditional role is being kept for the story. There have been rumblings that Harley may be a fellow Arkham patient.
Outside of Arthur, Zazie Beetz is the only returning Joker cast member announced so far, reprising the role of Sophie Dumond. Joker: Folie à Deux has tapped several new cast members in undisclosed roles. The list includes Harry Lawtey, Jacob Lofland, Brendan Gleeson, and Catherine Keener. The Batman villain Harvey Dent has also been referenced through banners in set photos. It’s unknown yet if Harvey will have an actual role in the film.
Since filming has wrapped, the first Joker: Folie à Deux trailer will likely drop in a few months. Whether the studio releases it online or during a major media event remains to be seen. Nevertheless, with everything that’s known about Joker: Folie à Deux, the musical sequel is looking incredibly promising.
