The Joker: Folie à Deux trailer brings us songs and Harley Quinn
Joker: Folie À Deux | Official trailer
Nearly five years after the release of Joker, the Oscar-winning DC comic-inspired drama starring Joaquin Phoenix, its sequel is finally ready for the spotlight. The first trailer for Joker 2 debuted Tuesday at CinemaCon, the trade show for all things theatrical, showcasing Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, and some of the new music rumored for the film.
Joker 2, officially called Joker: Folie à Deux, will feature some returning faces like Phoenix as the Joker, formerly known as Arthur Fleck, as well as Todd Phillips, who is once again directing from his own script. Along with Lady Gaga, the film also adds Catherine Keener (Get Out), Ken Leung (Old) and Brendan Gleeson (Banshees of Inisherin) to its cast.
On stage at CinemaCon, Phillips said the intention was to make Joker a one-off, but that at the end of production on the first film, he talked to Phoenix about doing a sequel "because it was so much fun and we liked the character of Arthur and the Joker so much ." During the violence of the pandemic, the two revived the idea "and now we are here."
