After various rumours, Lady Gaga herself confirmed her participation in Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to the movie that gave us Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck. In addition, the singer announced that there is a long way to go to see the delivery, since it would be released in October 2024.
And it was just confirmed. After several rumors (which had been going around since June) about the sequel to jokerthe singer and actress Lady Gaga He confirmed on his social networks that he will participate in the film. With a small video, which makes us understand more than one thing, they also confirmed the release date: October 4, 2024, the same day that the first installment was released (but from 2019).
The short video you shared Lady GagaWith “Joker: Folie a Deux. 10.04.24”, gives us new clues about other rumors that were being read. When accompanied with music (the song check to check) and with a dance, the teaser could suggest that the sequel will be a musical. This rumor had worried (and may continue to worry) several fans, since the first film was a dark, suspenseful psychological thriller, very different from what it seems that we will have in Joker 2.
The video, in addition to showing us the names phoenix Y Gaga and the release date, also lets us see the silhouettes of Arthur Fleck and the character of the singer while they dance. And this brings us to another of the rumors that have not yet been confirmed: who she will play. Lady Gaga. And everything points to harley quinn.
Why? Besides because we see that it will be close to the joker of phoenix, Gaga has a heart on her cheek, something that characterizes the harley quinn of margot robbie, for instance. But this is not all. There are more theories and rumors that point to the same thing.
According to Thewrap, the plot of Joker: Folie a Deux would revolve around the time Arthur Fleck happens in the Arkham Asylum. Towards the end of the 2019 film, Arthur he was admitted to the Gotham City psychiatric hospital and seemed to kill the doctor who was treating him. After this, he runs off and is chased by the guards.
In the sequel it seems that Fleck he will still be in the mental hospital and the film will take place mostly in there. Given the title of the installment, Joker: Folie a Deux (which refers to the clinical term for the “shared madness,” hallucinations, and delusions of two people), this seems to make sense.
Furthermore, if Arthur is inside the Arkham AsylumI could meet the harley quinn of Lady GagaJust like in the comics. As for the musical, there is no reasonable explanation, except that they share some kind of hallucination or delusion, but we will confirm this over time, as more details come out.
It is very likely that these rumors will cease to be so soon. Even Lady Gaga could add some original song to the film, as it has already done in A Star is Borndelivery that also had Todd Phillips.
While joker was a violent and melancholic story about the transformation from a failed comedian to a murderous threat, Joker: Folie a Deux It looks like it’s going the other way. However, there is no doubt that she will surprise us. Come back Philips to lead and phoenix to star (with a salary increase to envy, it went from 4.5 million dollars to 20 million).
The sequel arrives on October 4, 2024, so we still have time for more theories and confirmations. we hope that Warner Bros. and DC put the batteries and keep more or less the date with Joker: Folie a Deux.
