Warner Bros. has debuted a surprise new poster for director Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie À Deux. The film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, comes exclusively to UK cinemas on October 4, 2024.
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.
The brand new poster seeing Phoenix and Gaga striking a blood-soaked pose together reminiscent of the dance sequence glimpsed in the film’s first trailer. Here’s a look at the new artwork in full:
The film also stars Oscar nominees Brendan Gleeson (“The Banshees of Inisherin”) and Catherine Keener (“Get Out,” “Capote”), alongside Zazie Beetz, reprising her role from “Joker.”
