‘Joker 2: Folie a Deux’ presents the first official image of Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix

‘Joker: Folie à Deux’, the sequel to 2019’s ‘Joker’, together with the future ‘The Batman 2’, are part of the known future of DC Elseworlds, that point that is already the darkest and most adult part of the DC Universe, far from whatever it is that James Gunn is building (for now destroying). After the 2019 film gave Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar winning 2 of 11 nominations and became the first superhero movie to win at a major film festival like Venice, we can’t wait for the sequel.

Yes, they can, because we know that many have been a little pissed off seeing us share the first images of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. The shoot went public during its days of shooting on location and we even got to see the leads recreate the famous stairs scene. He hype due to the sequel it cannot be greater, and we as a cinematographic media cannot be oblivious to some images that are going around the world, and that advance us many things from one of the most anticipated films of the moment. We know that, for some, they are considered spoilers from which you want to flee, but we are informers, and our duty is to inform all those (and there are also many) who want to see and learn about these images, and keep up to date with their production. Just as you were interested in our theories about the probable villain of this Joker 2: Folie a Deuxwe know that the images of both protagonists are mana for the fans.

And we don’t know it, also Warner and DC. After numerous leaks, the production of the film has decided to finally reveal the first official images of both protagonists in character.

We see Joaquin Phoenix from below, and not very clearly. Although his character is the one with the least surprise, it seems that we can confirm that his appearance is still very similar to that of the first installment. More interesting is the photo of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. The first official image of pop’s life as the mythical clown, former Arkham nurse and lover of Arthur Deck is a head-on snapshot, clearer than anything we’ve seen so far. With the vertical streaks of mascara and deep red lipstick quite smeared and faded, Gaga has a lost look. No, she is a very different Harley Quinn from Magot Robbie, always with that fiery and mischievous look.

We remind you that, as we have been able to verify these days, the film is in full filming. In other words, production has not yet finished, and this type of film involves many months of work in post-production. What’s more, the Joker sequel is expected to try its luck again at one of the big festivals before its premiere. Probably repeat in the more hollywood friendly of all, the Venice Festival where it already won its first installment. That will be in September 2024, just in time for the film’s announced release date of October 4, 2024.
