Earlier today, tickets for Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie À Deux film went on sale. The news came via social media, as WB and DC officially shared a new teaser that looks to be a final trailer. The film is slated for a theatrical release next month on October 4th.
The Elseworlds sequel stars Oscar winners Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. Phoenix is reprising his role of Arthur Fleck/The Joker as Gaga will bring to life a new, stripped-down portrayal of classic Joker partner Harley Quinn.
Polarizing Reception
Last week, during the Venice International Film Festival, the film had its world premiere, which once again split critics and audiences, resulting in a divisive reception. Despite the schism among critics and those in attendance, The Joker sequel stands at a respectable and fresh 61% on the Rotten Tomatoes site after 44 reviews were publicly released.

In addition, various trailers have shared different details regarding the tone and theme of the film, such as the film being described as a musical in a twisted sense of the word. One could note or most likely fathom Fleck’s split in perspective and POV and the character’s tendency to present the narrative under the guise of an unreliable narrator.
It’s an exciting concept that pushes the audience to take note of the film’s choices, emotions, camera work, and set design as the proverbial envelope of seeing if certain characters, which could center around the value and role of Gaga’s Quinn, are Fleck manifesting her as a figment to cope. Or if the characters are locked alongside her hero and a beacon of inspiration within Arkham.
Nonetheless, knowing tickets are on sale leads to the point of trust that DC and WB have around the film, but the lack of marketing does seem a bit stale despite relying on Phillips’s vision. Only time will tell if audiences will find a closer point of discussion when the film debuts next month.
All You Need to Know
Joker: Folie À Deux stars Joaquin Phoenix once again, reprising his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker, opposite Oscar winner Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born). 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.
A synopsis for the film reads: “Joker: Folie À Deux 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.”
From acclaimed writer/director/producer Todd Phillips comes Joker: Folie À Deux, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning Joker. The latter earned more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the (second) highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
Joker: Folie à Deux will open in theaters on October 4, 2024. The film has been rated R for “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity.”
