Finished filming Joker: Folie à Deuxthe Warner Bros. sequel to Joker (2019), winner of the Golden Lion at the 2019 Venice Film Festival.
Directed by Todd Phillips, the director of the first chapter, the film marks the return of Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator, Quills – Pen of scandal) again in the role of the psychopathic clown.
At his side there is instead the American singer-songwriter and actress Lady Gaga in the role of the anti-heroine Harley Quinn of DC Comics, a character already played by Margot Robbie in several films of the DC Extended Universe cinematic universe.
The US release date of Joker: Folie à Deux has been set for October 4, 2024 while the Italian one has not yet been announced.
In Joker: Folie à Deux there will also be Zazie Beetz (again in the role of Sophie Dumond), Brendan Gleeson (28 days later) and Catherine Keener (Scappa – Get Out).
The script, on the other hand, is signed by the director herself in collaboration with Scott Silver.
Based on the DC Comics character of the same name created by Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson and Bill Finger, Joker (2019) departs from the DC Extended Universe. The film is in fact the origin story of the disturbed Arthur Fleck, a man who will find himself relegated to the margins of a violent society during the 80s in Gotham City.
