Since director Todd Phillips has announced the news of ‘Joker’s sequel by sharing the title ‘Folie á Deux’ in June, fans around the world are losing their mind with sheer excitement. The first installment was released in 2019 and garnered immense love and response. It even bagged two Oscars too. The dark and intense character of Joker gained huge popularity more than Batman as people could feel and relate with the characteristics.
Hence ‘Folie á Deux’ is no doubt already making fans go gaga over it with its every latest news. Even the news of Lady Gaga’s portrayal of Harley Quinn had also made headlines. In fact, fans seems to be quite excited with Lady Gaga too and not spreading such negative comments, even after their favourite Margot Robbie is not playing the titular role this time.
Seems like director Todd Phillips definitely knows how to raise the temperature slowly! Just two days ago, he dropped the first glimpse of an extremely malnutritioned Phoenix. In the picture, we can see topless Joaquin, sitting in a barber’s chair while shaving his beard in Arkham Asylum, where he is destined to meet his love, Harley Quinn. His physique looks severely pale and his ribs are intensely visible.
According to Todd Phillips’ caption on Instagram, “Day 1. Our boy. #joker”, seems like the film finally went on floor on Friday, December 9, 2022.
‘Joker: Folie á Deux’ is directed by Todd Phillips, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in the leads, co-written by Todd Phillips and Scott Silver. The film is currently set to release on October 4, 2024.
