Joker: Folie A Deux Official Trailer – Arthur Fleck Faces Court – Find Out What Happens!
The latest trailer for Joker: Folie A Deux is filled with intense scenes, powerful dialogue, and a deeper look into the world of Joker and Harley Quinn’s dominance. The trailer begins with Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) in a prison cell, seemingly being interviewed after being arrested for the murder of TV anchor Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro).
The reporter asks Joker to recount the night of the murder and reflect on the changes since then. “I’ll tell you what’s changed, I’m not alone anymore,” he responds as the clip shows Joker and Harley (Lady Gaga) sharing a kiss.
The trailer highlights the conflicting nature of Phoenix’s character, torn between his human side, tormented and labeled as a loser, and his alter ego, the Joker, who embodies his chaotic thoughts and emotions.
“Who am I speaking to now? Which one of you is here?” asks another reporter. Fleck, in his Joker persona, insists that he is still the same person. “So you don’t think this is me?” he questions at one point.
Gaga’s captivating portrayal of the titular villain is likely to fuel Joker’s actions. “You can do anything you want,” Harley tells Joker while in prison. Joker: Folie A Deux is a musical sequel to the 2019 hit film Joker, which earned Phoenix an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Director Todd Philips explains that Fleck always had a musical quality to him, inspiring the idea for a musical sequel. The music serves as a means of expression for the characters.
“Music is used to give the characters a way to express what they need to say because the scene and dialogue alone are not enough,” Gaga shared. Both she and Phoenix sang the songs authentically to stay true to their characters. “It was really the only way,” Phoenix added.
Joker: Folie A Deux will hit theaters on October 2, 2024.
