In an Instagram post Tuesday, Philips posted an image of cast members Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix locking eyes in what appears to be an intense scene of the movie with the caption, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
While Gaga’s role is not confirmed, it is believed that she will be fulfilling the role of the iconic Harley Quinn.
The first Joker movie was an insane success, earning over $1 billion and becoming one of DC’s top grossing films of all time, so the expectations for this sequel are high.
The sequel title, Folie à deux is a French saying and medical term that refers to identical mental disorders affecting two or more people. The original film followed the life of clown and aspiring stand-up comedian, Arthur Fleck, whose mental health plummets after constant rejection, leading him to create the alter-ego, Joker.
