“Joker: Folie à Deux” is hitting theaters in 2024.
The sequel, which sees the return of Joaquin Phoenix as Batman’s notorious foe, will debut on the big screen on Oct. 4, 2024.
The follow-up to 2019’s blockbuster “Joker” will be a musical, with none other than Lady Gaga expected to play the Clown Prince of Crime’s co-conspirator Harley Quinn. After the original grossed more than $1 billion globally and won Phoenix an Oscar, a sequel was pre-ordained. Naturally, the actor is asking for big bucks to reprise his sinister role; Phoenix’s paycheck for “Folie à Deux” will be $20 million.
Warner Bros. announced the release date on Wednesday in an attempt to shift the conversation away from news that the studio has scrapped its $90 million-budgeted “Batgirl,” despite the film being nearly complete.
