DC fans, get ready: Joker: Folie à Deux is set to be in theatres October 2025. Joaquin Phoenix will be returning as Arthur Fleck, a.k.a. The Joker, while Lady Gaga will be appearing as Harley Quinn. Joker (2019) made over $90 million on opening weekend and grossed over $1 billion worldwide. Folie à Deux, meanwhile, is currently predicted to gross $120-150 million on its opening weekend. While the sequel’s overall revenue won’t be known for quite some time, many are wondering whether it will surpass or underperform its parent film’s success. For now, though, let’s discuss the original movie and what to expect from its sequel.
The Origin Story: Joker (2019)
Joker tells the story of Arthur Fleck, a middle-aged man working as a comedian while also struggling with mental health issues. As the movie progresses, Arthur steadily declines from the person he once was as he deals with isolation and disrespect from his society and loved ones. Eventually, his struggles and experiences lead him to become the infamous psychopath of Gotham City.
What To Expect: Joker: Folie à Deux (2025)
Directed by Todd Phillips, the same person who directed the first movie, Joker: Folie à Deux is expected to be a little different from the first installment in the Joker series. The second movie will have more musical elements but will not be a full musical production itself. The sequel is also said to be much darker than its parent movie and filled with more unexpected elements that will excite audiences.
Although much of the plot has yet to be revealed, the film will center around Arthur Fleck’s trial, almost two years after the events of the first film. Having now been admitted to Arkham State Hospital, Fleck meets Harley Quinn, a music therapist who admires his work. The couple develops an undeniable connection, and their relationship spirals into something Gotham never saw coming.
Final Thoughts
Whether or not Joker: Folie à Deux meets the same profit levels as the character’s origin movie did, the movie is still expected to appeal to DC and movie buffs all over the world. Joker (2019) offered a different perspective on the multilayered villain who has had many films and shows highlighting his madness and threat to Gotham City.
The success of the sequel may not be determined by the profits it earns but rather by the love and gratitude it shows by giving a fresh take on a beloved character. Set to release in October 2025, just in time for Halloween, Joker: Folie à Deux promises a dark, immersive experience for fans eager to dive back into Gotham’s twisted world.
