The first poster for the highly anticipated Joker sequel, Joker: Folie a Deux, has arrived, and the debut trailer is coming very soon. The poster depicts Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn dancing with a spotlight shining on them as Joker dips Harley while smoking a cigarette. The tag line for the film appears to be, “The world is a stage.”
As for the trailer, it’s scheduled to arrive on April 9.
In other news, Variety recently reported that the Joker sequel will feature at least 15 “reinterpretations” of popular songs, one of which is “That’s Entertainment” from the 1953 Judy Garland musical The Band Wagon. The movie could feature original music, too.
Plot details for the Joker sequel remain a mystery, but the drama is expected to feature scenes within and outside of Arkham Asylum. In addition to Phoenix and Gaga, the sequel brings back Zazie Beetz from the first movie and adds Oscar-nominated actors Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener, among others.
Todd Phillips returns to direct and write, alongside co-writer Scott Silver.
