The whole world is a stage in the upcoming 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 we’ve learned today that the trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux will debut at 9:30pm EST tonight, April 10, 2024.
While you wait, a 30-second clip from the trailer previews Joaquin Phoenix‘s return as Joker. And by the looks of this footage, well, he’s even worse off than we last saw him…
Phoenix will be joined by Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in the upcoming sequel, which has been rated “R” for “strong violence, language, sexuality, and brief full nudity.”
Still not much is known about the sequel to Phillips’ hit 2019 film, which 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. It’s said to be a “jukebox musical,” meaning a musical filled with existing songs rather than original songs.
“Folie à Deux” is the term meaning “shared psychosis” or “shared delusional disorder,” which is surely a reference to 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.
