Burbank, CA, October 22, 2024 – From acclaimed writer/director/producer Todd Phillips comes Joker: Folie À Deux, the follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office. 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 À Deux debuts for purchase and rental digitally at home on October 29.

Joker: Folie À 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.

I’m not even bothering with a pre-order link. If you want to see a real superhero movie in October 2024, you’d be better off waiting for this instead.
Mind you, Warner Bros. announced Joker: Foile à Deux around the same time they publicly canceled the Batgirl movie. This was the reason David Zaslav gave for canceling the film:
“We’re not going to launch your movie until it’s ready. We’re not going to launch a movie to make a quota. And we’re not going to put a movie out unless we believe in it.”
I can hear the ad executives conversation:
“Could the words besides ‘Joker’ be in a smaller font? Go change all the words, besides ‘Joker’, to a smaller font.”
