Todd Phillips Teases ‘Joker’ Sequel With New Lady Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix Photos

The film is set for release in October 2024

Published by

Merry Christmas, Joker fans. Director Todd Phillips celebrated the holiday by unveiling two new images from his forthcoming sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux. The photos, which he shared on Instagram, showcases stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga as the Joker and Harley Quinn.

“Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a beautiful new year,” Phillips wrote. The first photo reveals Phoenix’s Joker jailed while the second photo depicts Harley Quinn gazing at the Joker, who has donned his classic makeup.

Phillips and his cast have been teasing the movie, a sequel to the 2019 Joker film, all year. In April, Lady Gaga shared an official photo of her as Harley Quinn on social media. “That’s a wrap,” Gaga wrote on Instagram, signing the post “X, Harleen.”

The director also shared the photo, along with a separate picture of Phoenix. “That’s a wrap,” Phillips wrote. “Thanks to these two (+ the entire cast) and the BEST crew that the film industry has to offer. From top to bottom. Gonna crawl into a cave now (edit room) and put it all together.”

Paparazzi previously snapped the singer/actress on the sequel’s shoot, while Phillips shared a Valentine’s Day still of Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix locking eyes. As social media has pointed out, Gaga’s look as the character shares more in common with the Harley Quinn of the short-lived 2002 Birds of Prey TV show than the bat-wielding maximalist take that Margot Robbie recently brought to the big screen. 

Joker: Folie à Deux is set to arrive Oct. 4, 2024 — exactly five years after the first film’s release.
