*Warner Bros released the first teaser trailer for the hotly anticipated “Joker: Folie à Deux,” the sequel to the 2019 box office smash starring Joaquin Phoenix and co-starring Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.
Todd Philips directed the musical drama, which is set around Arkham Asylum. The cast includes Catherine Keener, Brendan Gleeson, Jacob Lofland, Harry Lawtey, and Zazie Beetz.
The storyline centers on Joker and Harley Quinn’s encounter at a psychiatric ward, leading to their wildly dysfunctional joint adventure.

The teaser was revealed during the studio’s presentation to exhibitors at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where Todd Phillips was asked to confirm if the movie would be a musical.
“We never really talked about it like that, but I like to say it’s a film where music is an essential element. To me, that doesn’t veer too far from the first film,” he explained, Outlook reports.
“Arthur [Fleck]’s weird and aloof and all these things, but he has music in him. He has a grace to him. That informed a lot of the dancing in the first film. It didn’t feel like that big of a step here. It’s different, but I think it’ll make sense when you see it,” Phillips added.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” hits theaters on October 4, 2024.
