Sony might’ve screwed the pooch when they attempted to give Marvel villains their own spin-off films that no one asked for (Venom, Morbius, Kraven The Hunter, etc.), but Warner Bros. struck box office gold when Joker hit theaters in 2019. With the sequel just a few months away, it’ll be interesting to see if they can replicate not only the box office receipts of the first, but also the critical acclaim as well.
Yesterday, Warner Bros. released it’s second trailer for the upcoming Todd Phillips film, which features Joaquin Phoenix’s iteration of the Clown Prince of Crime and his “infectious” laughter. Taking place after the events of the first installment, Joker: Folie Ą Deux finds Arthur Fleck aka The Joker locked up in Arkham Asylum awaiting trial for his many crimes. Surprisingly enough, there is where he meets his new love interest, Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga), who not only brings the music out of his soul but also dances it away with him in what’s sure to be some interesting musical numbers.
Though Zazie Beetz might’ve rejected Arthur’s advances in the first film, it seems like Lady Gaga is more than happy to reciprocate Joker’s feelings in the sequel and join him on a Natural Born Killers-ish adventure that will lead to the Joker not only defending himself in court in full clown makeup, but also murder the judge?! We can’t wait for this musical.
Check out the latest trailer to Joker: Folie Ą Deux, and let us know if you’ll be checking for it when it hits theaters on Oct. 4 in the comments section below.
