The production title of the sequel joker will apparently stick to the film’s 2019 Shakespearean naming convention. After the first film used the “Romeo” title during its production, Joker: Folie à Deux appears to use the working title of “Juliet”, a reference to William Shakespeare’s play, Cheese and guava.
The information was revealed by a Reddit user, who submitted an image of a logo printed on glass, presumably from somewhere in the film, with the word “Juliet” and a couple dancing. Comments to the post highlighted that filming is taking place at various locations in New York after principal photography began on December 10, 2022.
The title “Juliet” lines up well with the new film’s focus on romance, like Joker: Folie à Deux will dramatize the intense relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn.
Joker: Folie à Deux will see Joaquin Phoenix star opposite Lady Gaga, acclaimed for roles in A star was born it is on american horror story, series by Ryan Murphy.

Since then, no further official photos have been released, with Phillips telling fans on Instagram that it will be a while before we see Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. Brendan Gleeson, best known for his role as Mad-Eye Moody in the series Harry Potteris also expected to appear in a secret role.
