After murdering Murray Franklin live on television, Arthur Fleck is incarcerated in Arkham State Hospital, where he meets Harleen Quinzel. The two fall madly in love and experience musical madness through their shared delusions, while Fleck’s followers start a movement to free him from Arkham, ultimately giving rise to the Clown Prince of Crime’s criminal empire.

Joker was conceived as a standalone film, although Warner Bros. intended for it to launch a DC Black film series. Phillips expressed interest in making a sequel, but reiterated that Joker was not set up to have one. The sequel entered development in June 2022, with Gaga and Beetz joining later that year. Principal photography took place in Los Angeles, New York City, and Belleville, New Jersey, from December 2022 to April 2023.

Joker: Folie à Deux will have its world premiere at the main competition of the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 2024, and is scheduled for a theatrical release overseas on October 2, 2024, followed by the United States two days later on October 4, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.

It is produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios in association with Joint Effort.
