JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX Set Photos And Video Bring The Clown Prince Of Crime Back To Gotham City

The first photos and footage from the Los Angeles set of Joker: Folie à Deux have found their way online, bringing Joaquin Phoenix's Clown Prince of Crime back to Gotham City...with an unexpected twist!

2019's Joker didn't adhere to the comic books and delivered a unique, standalone interpretation of the Clown Prince of Crime and his origin story. 

That proved to be far from a bad thing, of course, and while Todd Phillips' movie was lacking when it came to faithfulness to the source material, it more than made up for that with a compelling, often haunting approach to Arthur Fleck's villainous transformation.

This unique approach to the classic comic book villain will continue in Joker: Folie à Deux, and we now have photos and footage from the Los Angeles set. In the Tweets below, Joaquin Phoenix can be seen running panicked through Gotham City seemingly pursued by copycat Jokers. 

One looks exactly as Fleck did in the first movie's final act, and we can't help but wonder whether this might all be in the villain's head. After all, he's expected to remain within the confines of Arkham Asylum in this follow-up (where he'll meet fellow patient Harley Quinn), though it would definitely be interesting to see what happens to Gotham if they escape! 

Back in 2019, Joker became the first R-Rated blockbuster to gross over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

As of right now, it's the only movie based on a DC Comics character currently heading our way in 2024, with 2025 set to be when DC Studios kicks off the new DCU in earnest with Superman: Legacy.

Joker: Folie à Deux is set to be released in theaters on October 4, 2024, exactly five years after Joker debuted.

Check out the set photos and videos below.

That is what I am seeing too. Some sort of inner turmoil or existential crisis thing in his head?

They caught lightning in a bottle with the first movie.

I think the second movie is going to be a weird disappointment.

He's clearly being chased by his alternate personalities.
Because he's Two-Face now.
He has a Folie a Deux! No wait that means two people sharing the same madness, not one mad person with alternate personalities.

What's the over and under on "Harley Quinn" being just another one of his personalities? He's imagined her like Zazie Beetz in the first movie.

(I know Zazie Beetz was real, but he was imagining a version of her)

@ObserverIO - I don't think they'll do that scenario twice imo

Absolutely


Todd Phillips has really embraced the mainstream trend 📈 and found an intriguing way to remind audiences and filmmakers that beyond this film (and genre) 📽️, there is room for avant-garde work



Room for experimentation and discovery

I wonder how much time has passed since the end of the first movie to the beginning of this one. Days, weeks, months or years?

@AnthonyVonGeek - You wanna know if Batman's in it, huh?
AnthonyVonGeek
AnthonyVonGeek - 3/5/2023, 9:03 AM
@ObserverIO - I figured Batman wouldn’t be in it cause the set pics still look like the 80s but I was mainly wondering if any other Batman characters will eventually be introduced, like a younger Jim Gordon and so on. 👍

I can imagine Arthur dying in this movie, but living after death through his impersonators with Jacob Lofland playing Batman's future Joker.

@Repian - But what about Joker 3 and 4 and the inevitable TV series spin-offs?

@regularmovieguy - do you think that's a joker imposter or just an on-set stand-in for joaquin seeing himself? the height difference makes me think the former, but that ultimately wouldn't matter if he's chasing him in frame

They must have a hearty budget if they're filming downtown LA. I'm excited for this movie

California just implemented a huge tax break to shoot in the state. Expect alot more films shooting in Hollywood which is a weird thing to say because it's home for the movies💁
