Even archvillains need love. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips offered three photos featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in character, adding the caption: “Hoping your day is full of love.”
An official trailer for the Joker follow-up is expected in mid-April, Phillips noted in the comments. The Warner Bros film is currently scheduled for an October release.
The film’s plot has been largely kept under wraps, though it’s billed as a drama with musical elements set in and around Arkham Asylum. The cast includes Zazie Beetz (returning from the first Joker film), Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland and Harry Lawtey.
The first Joker film in 2019 grossed more than $1 billion worldwide to become the highest-grossing R-rated release in box office history. The film also earned 11 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and won Phoenix the Best Actor award.
