JOKER 2 (2024) Joaquin Phoenix

Joker ended with Arthur having fully transitioned from a man who felt society let him down to the villain known as the Joker. With a major part of Arthur’s arc complete, Joker: Folie à Deux might bring him along for the ride that will be Gaga’s Harleen Quinzel discovering her inner Harley Quinn. From the Joker: Folie à Deux Harley Quinn set photos and videos that have been revealed, Gaga seems to be trailing the same path in the sequel that Phoenix did in Joker.

Most importantly, Joker: Folie à Deux will be a musical. As Gaga is not only a fantastic actress, but also one of the best singers in the world, it would make sense for the DC movie to focus more on her Harley Quinn than on Phoenix’s Joker. The original Joker had many plot twists, and the sequel is already breaking expectations by going with its musical direction, which means that Joker: Folie à Deux surprising the audience by putting Harley Quinn’s story first would be in line with how the franchise acts.
