Warner Bros. Pictures is kicking the Joker: Folie À Deux marketing in to high gear now. Ahead of the film’s UK premiere next week and October 4 release the studio has now released an extended clip from the film featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.
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 clip finds Arthur locked up during his trial as Lee comes in to visit. It’s clear this scene follows a rather dramatic day as she tells him that people are “going crazy” outside the court because of what he did.
The full clip is available to watch in the player below:
