The first trailer for ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ the musical sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Joker, has been unveiled, and it promises a captivating and unsettling exploration of the bond between Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck and Lady Gaga's Harleen Quinzel.
In the sequel, Phoenix reprises his Oscar-winning role as the titular aspiring standup comedian turned villain, while Lady Gaga joins the cast as Dr Harleen Quinzel, a psychiatrist assigned to treat Fleck at Arkham Asylum. The trailer teases a twisted love story as Quinzel falls for her patient and transforms into the iconic Harley Quinn.

The title 'Folie à Deux' is a reference to a psychiatric syndrome in which a delusional state is shared by two people, a fitting descriptor for the dangerous dynamic between the Joker and his new accomplice. Unlike the gritty, standalone nature of the first film, 'Folie à Deux' will be a musical, with the trailer featuring the 1965 song 'What the World Needs Now Is Love.'
Joaquin Phoenix, who won his first Oscar for his captivating performance as Fleck, has expressed enthusiasm for revisiting the character, telling Rolling Stone that he believes there are "endless... possibilities of where we can go with the character." The actor's commitment to the role is evident in the trailer, as he once again embodies the character's tortured psyche and descent into madness.
Lady Gaga As Harley Quin
The inclusion of Lady Gaga, known for her versatility as a performer, adds an intriguing element to the sequel. The versatile artist's portrayal of Harley Quinn, a character often depicted as the Joker's complicated love interest, promises to bring a fresh and potentially unsettling dynamic to the franchise.
Joker: Folie à Deux, directed once again by Todd Phillips, also stars Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Steve Coogan, and Catherine Keener. The film is expected to include 15 musical numbers, with most being covers of pre-existing songs, including the classic "That's Entertainment" from the 1953 musical "The Band Waggon."
As fans eagerly await the release of this highly anticipated sequel, the trailer has already ignited a frenzy of excitement and speculation, hinting at a narrative that will delve deeper into the twisted relationship between the Joker and his newly minted accomplice, Harley Quinn. Joker: Folie à Deux is set to hit theatres on October 4, 2024, promising to once again captivate audiences with its haunting exploration of madness and the human condition.
