Warner Bros. Pictures has just a couple of weeks until the global rollout of Joker: Folie À Deux begins. The film comes to UK cinemas on October 4 and today we’re celebrating with a brand new behind-the-scenes featurette.
The sequel 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.
In the featurette below stars Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, alongside director Todd Phillips, discuss the arrival of Lee Quinn aka Harley Quinn. Gaga talks about her first experience of the original film and bringing a unique new take on the character to the big screen.
