Joker: Folie à Deux Takes the Character to New Heights (2024)

Joker

The world has been waiting for six long years for this moment to finally arrive. Anticipation floods fans’ social media platforms as we inch closer to the release date of Joker: Folie a Deux. The international success of Joker (2019) has paved the way for the second installment of the series; however, the second film won’t be anything like the first film, leaving some fans worried as opposed to excited. In this article, we will discuss bold new choices made by the production team, returning stars, and possible plot points.

The Return of the Joker

The prince of crime has been an iconic staple within the Batman legacy for half a century. Over the years many different actors have had their chance to portray the character. Including such stars as Jack Nicholson in the 1989 Batman movie, and Heath Ledger in 2008’s The Dark Knight. Each one of these actors was able to create a different spin on the character and Joaquin Phoenix is no different. Arthur Fleck in Joker (2019) is shaped by the way society treats him. Pushing him closer to darkness every day. The performance was so captivating and heartbreaking that Joaquin Phoenix earned an Oscar for it.

Not only is Phoenix returning to the screen as the iconic villain Joker, but the team is returning as well. Director Todd Phillips returns for the second film and claims he wants to push the boundaries even further in his next rendition of the film. For those of you who do not speak French, the title translates to Madness for Two. This alludes to the idea that audiences will be exploring more into the minds of not only Joker but Harlequin as well and the relationship dynamics between the two.

Musical Elements: A Bold New Approach

Joker: Folie à Deux aficionados were shocked when they heard the announcement about Lady Gaga and how they will be incorporating musical elements within the entire film. Some say that this is a strange direction for the Joker film. However, other fans believe that it will be much like the dancing in the first installment, where the dancing symbolizes Arthur Fleck’s disjointed reality, and Arthur has always been a performer, right? Therefore, the direction of a musical could make for a fantastically new style and perspective of the Joker. Especially since it will dig deeper into the depraved minds and relationship between Joker and Harlequin.

Final Thoughts

A massive audience awaits this new installation of Joker coming out this October. With previous success, a strong team, and a new direction moviegoers can anticipate a psychologically fun and thrilling viewing experience. One filled with music, dancing, and, of course, a lot of laughs. Todd Phillips has already been in talks about creating a third installation to make Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker into a trilogy.
