Joker: Folie à Deux latest news and updates
- April 10, 2014: We’re treated to our first glimpse of the film, and our first look at Joaquin Phoenix opposite Lady Gaga, with the arrival of a teaser trailer.
What is the Joker 2 release date in Australia?
According to IMDb, the film is expected to release on October 3, 2024 in Australia. The teaser trailer confirms an October release, so start preparing for Joker: Folie à Deux to hit screens later this year.
Tell me about Joker: Folie à Deux
Joker: Folie à Deux is the sequel to the 2019 film starring Joaquin Phoenix. We don’t know all that much about the storyline. But we do know that this film will feature the Joker’s leading lady, Harley Quinn.
IMDb simply lists the storyline for the film as, “Sequel to the film Joker from 2019”.
The title means ‘Madness for Two’ in French, so that gives some suggestion of where we’re going with this film. We also know Joker: Folie à Deuxs will be a musical, so get ready.
Who is in the cast of Joker: Folie à Deux?
As mentioned, Lady Gaga (A Star is Born) has stepped into the role of Harley Quinn, and is joined by Joaquin Phoenix (Napoleon) who returns as ‘Joker’ Arthur Fleck. Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2) also features in the film as Sophie Dumond, along with Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin), Catherine Keener (Get Out) and more.
Is there a Joker 2 trailer?
For a while now, all we’ve had is this teaser featuring animated versions of the starring actors dancing…
As of April 10, however, we officially have our first teaser trailer to obsess over. The clip takes us through the beginnings of the Joker and Harley Quinn relationship, and hints at some (no surprises, here) pretty violent turns ahead – all played out to a sweet little rendition of ‘What The World Needs Now’. Watch it below:
Back in 2023, we also got a glimpse of Lady Gaga in costume as Harley Quinn. As you can see, it’s a world away from Margot Robbie’s take, which we think is rather a good thing.
Where can I watch the 2019 Joker movie?
