Here is the poster for Joker: Folie à Deux, which is French for, “What the f**k?” I didn’t particularly care for the original Joker, which existed outside of a DCEU that no longer exists. But mostly, I disliked the rabid edgelord fans, most of whom probably listen to Joe Rogan and take their medical advice from Aaron Rodgers.
But then, Todd Phillips does something that almost feels antithetical to exactly those fans: He hired Lady Gaga and turned the sequel into a musical. Based on the photos I’ve seen, it might even be a courtroom musical, and now I’m excited about the sequel to a movie I didn’t much care for.
Also, why is Arthur Fleck holding a cigarette while he dances? You’re gonna singe Harley’s hair, Arthur!
The first trailer will arrive a week from today, on April 9th. The movie opens on October 4th.
