Todd Phillips is sharing a surprise gift with fans as his forthcoming Joker sequel wraps filming.
The filmmaker took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce that production has wrapped and share new images of stars Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix in character. Phillips has previously shared only limited glimpses of the stars in makeup and costumes throughout the shoot for Joker: Folie à Deux, with the follow-up to the 2019 film set for release from Warner Bros. on Oct. 4, 2024.
“That’s a wrap,” Phillips captioned the post. “Thanks to these two (+ the entire cast) and the BEST crew that the film industry has to offer. From top to bottom. Gonna crawl into a cave now (edit room) and put it all together.”
