Undoubtedly one of the most surprising movies was the Joker, making Joaquin Phoenix take the plaudits. The movie, winner of many awards, became a much darker story than we knew of the legendary Batman villain, and now it would be returning in a second part, but with the news that Lady Gaga will also be part of it, bringing to the screen the very Harley Queen. When this news was released, people quickly showed displeasure and with the news that it would also be a musical, the controversy began.
Recently the first images of the new movie starring Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix were released, but apparently the audience has been very divided in the reception of the images, the truth is that we all hope to be surprised for good and that it will be better than the first part.
From a screenplay he co-wrote with Scott Silver, Phillips will serve as director. The sequel’s title alludes to a medical term for a mental illness that impacts two or more people. The movie will be released on October 4, as stated in Phillips’ most recent Instagram post. There are great hopes that Joker, which debuted as the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time and won multiple major awards, will live up to the hype as its eagerly awaited 2024 sequel.
If you have no idea about Joker’s plot, here is the synopsis by Film Affinity:
Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) lives in Gotham with his mother, and his only motivation in life is to make people laugh. He performs as a clown in small jobs, but has mental problems that make people see him as a freak. His big dream is to perform as a comedian in front of an audience, but a series of tragic events will make him increasingly angry at a society that ignores him.
