Joker: Folie À Deux Releases New Trailer
Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga create a new musical love story as Joker and Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie À Deux, which will be released worldwide on October 4.
On Tuesday, Warner Bros dropped the latest glimpse into Arthur Fleck (Joker) and Harley Quinn’s life behind bars. The trailer showcases Arthur awaiting trial institutionalized at Arkham for his crimes as Joker. He soon meets Harley and finds love as they begin to course through life, discovering the “music that’s always been inside him.”
The trailer previews Harley telling Arthur, “When I first saw Joker — when I saw you — for once in my life, I didn’t feel so alone anymore.” Upon the failed comedian’s release, the two create chaos as they embark on a doomed romantic misadventure.
The director, Todd Phillips, first teased the film in December 2022 through an Instagram post. The first look at Gaga’s character was released on Valentine’s Day last year, and the initial trailer premiered in April. Throughout the promotions, fans desperately awaited to see Phoenix and Gaga on the screens, entranced deep in an action-packed love story.
