Following the billion-dollar box office and Oscar-winning success of Joker, it was hardly surprising that a sequel to the Batman spin-off would get green-lit.

Joker 2 aka Joker Folie À Deux follows the villainous romance between Joaquin Phoenix’s Clown Prince of Crime and Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn.

The upcoming new DC movie co-stars Brendan Gleeson, Steve Coogan and Zazie Beetz and its synopsis reads: “After murdering Murray Franklin live on television, Arthur Fleck is incarcerated in Arkham State Hospital, where he meets Harleen Quinzel. The two fall madly in love and experience musical madness through their shared delusions, while Fleck's followers start a movement to free him from Arkham, ultimately giving rise to the Clown Prince of Crime's criminal empire.”

Joker Folie À Deux his UK cinemas on October 4, 2024.
