The ‘Industry’ actor joins Joaquin Phoenix and Zazie Beetz, as well as newcomers Lady Gaga, Jacob Lofland, Brendan Gleeson, and Catherine Keener, for the ‘madly’ romantic musical sequel to ‘Joker.’
Set in a gritty ’80s Gotham, 2019’s Joker is considered a standalone film, separate from the currently established DCEU. This allowed the wayward project certain creative freedoms that resulted in not only an R rating, but earnings of more than $1 billion worldwide and Oscar awards for Best Actor and Best Original Score.
Returning for the mad sequel is director Todd Phillips, who will again pen the script alongside Scott Silver. Production is set to begin in December. VFX on Joker were produced by Scanline VFX and Shade VFX for Production VFX Supervisor Edwin Rivera. No word yet on which studios will handle the new production.
Joker 2: Folie À Deux is slated for a theatrical release on October 4, 2024.
