The director of the film “Joker: Folie à Deux,” Todd Phillips, responded to fans in an interview with Entertainment Weekly about the changes in the new Joker film.

Phillips revealed that the film will heavily feature music but did not confirm whether it will be a musical. “We never discussed it that way, but I like to say it’s a film where music is an essential element,” he said.

 

He explained that these alterations will make sense when people watch the film. “Arthur [the Joker] is peculiar and distant and all those things, but he has music inside him. He has a grace. That greatly influenced the dancing in the first film.”

The dance scene on the stairs in the first film became a trademark of the R-rated Joker film.

The new teaser trailer released on Tuesday (9) shows the character portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix interacting with Lady Gaga, who will bring to life a new version of psychiatrist Harleen Quinzel.

The two will embark on a romantic journey, full of crime and music, continuing the story of the Joker and the origin of Harley Quinn.

The film is set to be released on October 4, 2024. The first film was released in 2019 and became the highest-grossing R-rated film, earning over $1 billion at the box office.
