Joker 2 2024 【EXCLUSIVE ✧】

“He’s not alone anymore. Joker: Folie à Deux – Only in theaters October 4.”

Joaquin Phoenix is the heart (and the heart attack) of this franchise. He became the second actor in history to win an Oscar for portraying a comic book character (the first being Heath Ledger). For the sequel, Phoenix reportedly negotiated a historic salary, reflecting his indispensability to the project. His physical transformation and raw, unhinged performance are expected to be even more intense, exploring the seductive power of the Joker persona.

Set largely within the confines of Arkham State Hospital, the film is expected to follow Arthur Fleck as he awaits trial for the murders committed in the first film. Inside these walls, he encounters a fellow patient—Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn.
