The Big Picture Not only have we been anxiously awaiting the return of Gotham's favorite laughing anti-hero, but we now finally have our first proper good look at the Joker sequel and his next descent into criminality with Joker: Folie à Deux's first trailer. Joaquin Phoenix returns to the groundbreaking role that earned him an Oscar win, but he's also joined by legendary musician and fellow Academy Award winner Lady Gaga.
'Joker: Folie à Deux' Changes Up Harley Quinn's Origin Story The trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux definitively confirms that Lady Gaga is playing Harley Quinn. However, it's very clear that the film will be making some changes to the iconic characters origins. In the way it usually goes for Harley and Joker's introduction, Harley was once an empathetic-to-a-fault psychiatrist who was working at Arkham Asylum.
The 'Joker: Folie à Deux' Trailer Teases the Film's Elaborate Musical Numbers Close A voice overheard early on in the trailer of Joker: Folie à Deux reads: "We use music to make us whole. To balance the fractures within ourselves." Given that Arthur first sees Harley when she's engaging in some sort of choir session at the asylum, it appears that music is being used as a therapy method for the hospital's patients.
Harley Is Directly Mirroring Joker From the First Film Throughout various points of the trailer, we, of course, see Harley following in Joker's footsteps. Some of these moments are literal, as she's directly copying some of his iconic moments from the first film. First, we see her using her fingers to mimic a gun before jokingly pulling the trigger, just like Arthur did in the first Joker.
