Amid all the uncertainty around Warner Bros. Discovery with the studio shelving Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt, it seems that Todd Phillips’ Joker sequel Joker: Folie À Deux is safe from the cull as it has just been announced that the film has been given a release date of October 4th, 2024.
Phillips revealed the film’s title from an image of the script in June and Lady Gaga is reportedly starring alongside Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck/Joker in the sequel as Harley Quinn. The sequel is even said to feature musical numbers from the pop singer throughout the film.
Joker was released in 2019 and became a smash hit, earning over $1 billion for an R-rated film and an Academy Award for Phoenix as Best Actor for his performance as Fleck. The film followed Arthur Fleck as a man trying to become a comedian while being mocked and ignored by Gotham City society, putting him on the path to become the infamous Joker.
