Joker: Folie à Deux is one of the most anticipated sequels in development right now, and we’re getting closer to seeing it in theaters. Director Todd Phillips announced that this project officially wrapped production by sharing new photos from the set.
Phillips celebrated the last day of filming the sequel by posting two photos of Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix in full makeup as Harley Quinn and the Joker, followed by a caption reflecting on the process of filming the prequel.
“That’s a wrap. 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,” he wrote on social media.
Phillips returned to direct and co-write the Folie à Deux after finding huge success with the first Joker film. It became the first R-rated film to gross over $1 billion, and it won numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor for Phoenix.
Joker: Folie à Deux was filmed in Los Angeles, New York, and Cedar Grove, from December to April, and it’s expected to include musical elements. In addition to Phoenix and Gaga, the film will also star Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey. It will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 4, 2024.
