Joker: Folies à Deux Trailer Debuts with Phoenix and Gaga

Warner Bros. has released the trailer for 'Joker: Folies à Deux', directed by Todd Phillips, set for release on October 2, 2024. The trailer features Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as Arthur Fleck/Joker and Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, set to Burt Bacharach's 'What the World Needs Now Is Love'. The film is described as a love story, a reflection on mental health, and a memorable musical. The first 'Joker' (2019) won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, earned 11 Oscar nominations, and grossed over $1 billion. The sequel's plot remains largely under wraps: Arthur Fleck is still incarcerated at Arkham Asylum, where he meets Harley Quinn and forms a strong bond. Set photos suggest the characters will escape into Gotham City streets.
