What we know about ‘Joker 2’
Joker: Folie à Deux—or Joker 2—is set to hit theaters on October 4, five years after the original. The plot is expected to follow Arthur Fleck/Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) during his stay at Gotham's Arkham State Hospital. While there, the failed comedian meets the love of his life, Lee Quinzel/Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga), who introduces him to the world of music and love.
"I loved working with Joaquin, I loved working with [Director] Todd [Phillips]," Gaga said of the film. “I've never done anything like I've done in this movie before, so it's all going to be completely brand new and really fun."
The film is expected to feature some musical numbers, with Phoenix revealing, "I encouraged her [Gaga] to sing poorly. I remember asking her to sing without her vibrato. She has a beautiful vibrato—too beautiful. I think she felt naked without it, but as soon as she moved away from technique, she unlocked her character’s voice.”

The Oscar winner also shared, “Not only did we sing live, but every part of the recording was live. We didn’t sing to completed tracks or a click track. We were working with a pianist on set, so each take was a different version of the song and of singing the song, so that felt really exciting and created an energy that was necessary.”
Alongside Phoenix and Gaga, stars like Catherine Keener, Brendan Gleeson, Steve Coogan and Zazie Beetz are expected to have appearances in the sequel.
Joker: Folie à Deux marks Gaga’s third feature film since 2018— A Star Is Born and House of Gucci propelled her to acting stardom—but according to her, "I had never seen a world created like that before."
"It brought out all of that rough and tough energy and how big these dreams were, and how far they would fall," the singer continued to say. "It was a very special experience.”
