Todd Phillips’ upcoming film “Joker: Folie à Deux” has dropped a new trailer that leans heavily into mood and ambiance, rather than divulging plot details. Following the success of its predecessor, the trailer teases Arthur Fleck’s (Joaquin Phoenix) journey into Arkham Asylum where he encounters Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn, promising a narrative filled with chaos and psychological intrigue.
Notably, the trailer hints at a storyline where much of the chaos might be subjective, set within the confines of the asylum. Variety confirms, “The film will take place mostly in Arkham Asylum,” suggesting a deeply introspective and potentially hallucinatory narrative.
Adding to the intrigue, Gaga’s Harley Quinn will be distinct from Margot Robbie’s portrayal in other DC films like “Birds of Prey” and “The Suicide Squad,” as well as Kaley Cuoco’s animated version from the Max series. This separation underscores the film’s standalone nature within the DC universe, separate from recent DC Studios productions and Matt Reeves’ “The Batman.”
Joining Phoenix and Gaga are a talented ensemble including Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey. The previous Joker film broke records as the highest-grossing R-rated film and garnered 11 Oscar nominations, with wins for Phoenix and composer Hildur Guðnadóttir.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” is set to carve its own path in the DC cinematic landscape, promising a distinctive take on the iconic characters amidst a wave of standalone narratives within the superhero genre.
