Joker: Folie à Deux - Official "Underestimated" Trailer (2024) Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga

"You can do anything you want. You’re Joker."

From acclaimed writer/director/producer Todd Phillips comes Joker: Folie Ą Deux, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. 

The new film stars Joaquin Phoenix once again in his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker, opposite Oscar winner Lady Gaga (“A Star Is Born”). Joker: Folie Ą Deux finds Arthur Fleck institutionalized at Arkham awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love but also finds the music that's always been inside him.

The film also stars Oscar nominees Brendan Gleeson (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) and Catherine Keener (“Get Out,” “Capote”), alongside Zazie Beetz, reprising her role from Joker. Phillips, who was nominated for Oscars for directing, writing and producing Joker, directed Joker: Folie Ą Deux from a screenplay by fellow Oscar nominee Scott Silver & Phillips, based on characters from DC. 

The film was produced by Phillips, Oscar nominee Emma Tillinger Koskoff and Joseph Garner. Lady Gaga served as music consultant. The film’s executive producers are Michael E. Uslan, Georgia Kacandes, Silver, Mark Friedberg and Jason Ruder. Working with Phillips behind the camera are his team from Joker, including Oscar-nominated director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Mark Friedberg, Oscar-nominated editor Jeff Groth, and composer Hildur Gušnadóttir, who won the Oscar for her work on the first film.
