The latest Joker teaser features Lady Gaga and Joaquin performing songs and dancing
Lagy Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix are exploring their wild side in Joker: Folie à Deux.
A new trailer for the sequel to 2019’s Joker debuted on Tuesday, July 23, showing Phoenix back as the disturbed Arthur Fleck. This time, Gaga joins the cast as this adaptation’s Harley Quinn — and the two characters are a match made in heaven.
Before teasing moments from the two’s sinister team-up, the preview opens with a voiceover of Harley telling Arthur, «When I first saw Joker — when I saw you — for once in my life, I didn’t feel so alone anymore.»
Subsequent scenes feature the pair dancing and joking through their antics, with Harley seemingly supporting Joker through his entertainment- and violence-related quests.
«You can do anything you want … you’re Joker,» she tells him.
Todd Phillips returns to direct the new film, following the financial success and critical acclaim of Joker (which, unlike Joker: Folie à Deux, was not a musical).
The psychological thriller was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won two, including Best Actor for Phoenix, 49.
When they finished filming the sequel in April 2023, Phillips, 53, wrote on Instagram, «That’s a wrap. Thanks to these two (+ the entire cast) and the BEST crew that the film industry has to offer. From top to bottom.»
«Gonna crawl into a cave now (edit room) and put it all together,» he added at the time.
