<p>Makers of <em>Joker: Folie a Deux</em> released a new poster of the film ahead of its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival 2024.

<p><strong>Fans react to the stills</strong><br />
<br />
Needless to say, the photos have generated quite a buzz on social media. Several fans of Gaga were thrilled to see the singer in such an avatar.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“We are so back. LG7. <em>Joker 2</em>,” wrote an excited fan in all caps. “<em>Joker 2 </em>stills and 3 studio pics in 2 hr i-,” wrote another fan. Another proclaimed that the ‘Monster era’ was back in dominance, “gaga in the studio, <em>Joker 2 </em>reveals, oh little monster era is back from dormancy.”<br />
<br />
One fan hoped that <em>Joker 2</em> is a musical, completely disconnected from the first film and wrote, “I hope, not that I think this will happen, that<em> Joker 2</em> is just completely disconnected from the first one. Just a completely different story packed into a lavish, over the top, campy musical. That would rule.”</p>

<p><strong>About <em>Joker 2</em></strong><br />
<br />
Not too much is known about the film, as the makers have kept the plot details a secret. However, the stills that have been released seem to suggest that the film will be a musical, set in and around Arkham Asylum where <em>Joker</em> meets Harley for the first time. Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland and Harry Lawtey are also part of the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The original <em>Joker</em> opened to much fanfare as well as critical praise back in 2019 and grossed $1 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing R-rated film in history. The film earned 11 Oscar nominations, including best picture and Joaquin won the best actor award. <em>Joker 2</em> will be released in theatres on October 4, 2024.&nbsp;</p>

New stills from Joker: Folie à Deux “Hoping your day is full of love,” wrote Todd, sharing the photos on his Instagram. Joaquin returns as the titular character Joker while Lady Gaga plays Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn in the film. In one of the photos, Gaga can be seen gazing into Joaquin’s eyes lovingly even as he barely smiles. In another, the two pose for a romantic photo on a terrace. The only colour picture released by Todd sees Gaga in blue and Joaquin in his trademark suit.

Joker: Folie à Deux: Todd Philips treats fans to new pics of Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga on Valentine's Day

<p>The Joker, an iconic character whose cinematic legacy has been marked by its peculiar and diverse interpretations over the years, is poised for a chilling encore. Joaquin Phoenix, who mesmerised audiences with his portrayal of Arthur Fleck in the 2019 film <em>Joker</em>, is all set to revive the role in a sequel. The film is said to be a musical, which would be a marked change from the original, which was a dark character study of a man losing his sanity.</p>

<p>Director Todd Phillips took to Instagram to share an evocative image that captures Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck amidst a crowd of people walking in the rain, sheltered beneath a sea of colourful umbrellas. The image conveys a sense of solitude within the bustling city, hinting at the brooding atmosphere that the film is expected to deliver. While the image provides a visual taste of what's to come, it remains tight-lipped about the sequel's storyline, leaving fans to speculate on the dark journey that Arthur Fleck will embark upon.</p>

The Joker, an iconic character whose cinematic legacy has been marked by its peculiar and diverse interpretations over the years, is poised for a chilling encore. Joaquin Phoenix, who mesmerised audiences with his portrayal of Arthur Fleck in the 2019 film Joker, is all set to revive the role in a sequel. The film is said to be a musical, which would be a marked change from the original, which was a dark character study of a man losing his sanity.

Joker 2 image: Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck stands alone in rain

<p>A video of Lady Gaga shooting a scene for her much-anticipated film<em> Joker: Folie à Deux </em>at New York's City Hall has gone viral. The clip shows the actress planting a kiss on a female bystander who is&nbsp;holding a newspaper with a "Crazy in Love"&nbsp;headline featuring pictures of her character Dr&nbsp;Harleen Frances Quinzel aka Harley Quinn&nbsp;and the Joker.</p>

<p>The Oscar winner, who is all set to play an ardent admirer of the Batman villain, was seen flaunting her blonde hair, which was pulled back into a half ponytail with her dark roots clearly showing. And, she was styled to appear as if she wasn't wearing any makeup.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Coming to her ensemble, she was seen donning a black faux fur jacket, black stockings and a printed dress.&nbsp;</p>

Lady Gaga spotted kissing female bystander while shooting Joker: Folie à Deux in NYC | Viral video

<p>Ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for Lady Gaga and her undeniably gorgeous look as Harley Quinn for the much-awaited&nbsp;<em>Joker: Folie à Deux</em>! First set photos from the production have emerged online and they show Gaga's stunning costume and makeup for the movie, which is worthy of applause.</p>

<p>In the now-viral snaps, Gaga is seen standing&nbsp;amid a large crowd as&nbsp;Gotham police officers try to escort her into a government building. Protesters are seen standing next to Gaga with placards that read, "Free Joker,"&nbsp;"Justice 4 Joker,"&nbsp;"Joker Marry Me"&nbsp;and "No Justice Not Guilty Not Joking."</p>

<p>The film is currently being shot around New York City and Newark, New Jersey.</p>

Joker: Folie à Deux: Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn costume is all things stunning

<p>'Joker' sequel ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ has just got a new cast member. As per The Hollywood Reporter, Jacob Lofland has also joined the cast, becoming the fourth new cast member of the Joaquin Phoenix-starrer DC movie. We know Lady Gaga, Brendan Gleeson, and Catherine Keener were earlier announced as the newbies in the franchise. Lofland's character will reportedly be an inmate of Arkham Asylum, where Phoenix's Arthur Fleck or Joker is also imprisoned. Arkham will be the movie's setting, though the makers are yet to confirm. The plot details of the movie are scarce, but it is said to be a musical.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter Beetz said, " I actually think it makes wonderful sense. I wasn’t really surprised by that. Todd [Phillips] has always had a creative approach to the character. I love musicals, and I think of them as the characters are feeling and experiencing so much that they can only sing and dance about it, whether in sorrow or in joy."</p>

<p>Joker' earned more than $1 billion worldwide on a paltry budget of $56 million and also got Phoenix an Oscar, his first.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Todd Phillips' 'Joker: Folie à Deux' and Sofia Coppola's untitled next film are among those upcoming Hollywood projects that have received tax credits from the government of California. While the former received $12.6 million, the latter got $19.6 million. The original 'Joker', released in 2019, was shot in New York. But the sequel will be filmed in Los Angeles. A total amount of $93.7 million was awarded to 18 projects. Netflix alone was given $37.1 million. The state's grants are aimed to stop jobs from fleeing to other states and countries. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The sequel to 'Joker' was not confirmed until May last year and earlier Phoenix had expressed doubts as to whether there will be one. The story of the original film ended pretty definitively and there were no loose ends.&nbsp;</p>

‘Joker 2' receives $12.6 million in tax credits from the state of California

<p>'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'The Suicide Squad' director James Gunn has spoken about Lady Gaga's casting in 'Joker: Folie à Deux', the sequel to 2019's 'Joker'. While Gaga is expected to portray Harley Quinn, supervillain and Joker's paramour in the film that brings back Joaquin Phoenix, there is no confirmation yet. The film, which director Todd Phillips also returns to helm, is said to be a musical, which does appear to make some sort of sense now that Gaga is here. Gaga is already an acclaimed singer but we know from 'A Star is Born' that she can act very well too. But still, it is hard to imagine Joker and Harley in a musical as something like that has not been done even in comics.</p>

<p>Gunn was recently asked about his thoughts on the film. He responded, "I'm really interested to see what Todd Phillips cooks up. I met Lady Gaga once and she was really nice, so I'm always rooting for nice people to do well."</p>
