Joker: Folie À Deux: the sequel to Joker with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix

Joker: Folie À Deux is the title of Todd Phillips ' 2019 sequel to The Joker. This sequel is a musical comedy featuring the arrival of Dr. Harleen Quinzel in the life of the Joker, who later becomes Harley Quinn. And this cult character, already played by Margot Robbie, will be played by none other than Lady Gaga, who is easy to imagine in the role. The film is scheduled for release in France on October 2, 2024, five years after the release of the first opus inspired by the Batman universe.

The first teaser, unveiled at CinemaCon Las Vegas on April 9, 2204, highlights the dark artistic direction and emotional depth that Todd Phillips aims to convey in this sequel. Joaquin Phoenix, already acclaimed for his performance in the first film, which won him theOscar for Best Actor, reprises his role, promising an equally breathtaking performance. Lady Gaga, renowned not only for her musical career, but also for her landmark roles in A Star is Born and House of Gucci, is ready to surprise audiences once again with her ability to adapt to complex characters.

According to information revealed by American media outlet The Wrap, the plot of this second installment will largely take place at Arkham Asylum, where Arthur Fleck is locked up at the end of The Joker. In the official canon of the Batman universe, this is where he meets Harleen Quinzel, whom he drives into madness to become Harley Quinn. In psychiatry, the expression "folie à deux" refers to a situation in which a sane person, through association with a delusional person, ends up adopting the same behavior. This is exactly the case with Harleen Quinzel, who, fascinated by the Joker's madness, becomes just like him.

Joker: Folie À Deux is billed as an intense psychological drama, delving even deeper into the abyss ofArthur Fleck's madness. The addition of Lady Gaga to the cast is a masterstroke that promises to explore the duality and complexity of the main characters. The title Folie À Deux suggests an exploration of shared psychosis, a theme both disturbing and fascinating, which will no doubt be at the heart of the plot.

The script remains shrouded in mystery, but with Todd Phillips at the helm, the film promises a detailed exploration of its tortured characters in a Gotham darker and more realistic than ever. Fans of the DC Comics universe are in anticipation, hoping that this new chapter will live up to its predecessor.
