What does Folie à Deux mean?
Folie à Deux, is a French phrase which means a delusion or mental illness shared by two people, most commonly a romantic couple.
What do we know about Joker 2 so far?
The film - which sees Todd Phillips back at the helm - is rumoured to be a musical and will see Lady Gaga play the role of Harley Quinn.
Where the first Joker saw Joaquin Phoenix play out the delusions of the title character, Joker 2 will see Phoenix and Gaga feed off each other in what is no doubt set to be the most twisted and colourful love story of the year. Set largely in Arkham Asylum, the movie no likely will explore their complex and perhaps disturbing bond. As with the first film, we imagine the lines between fantasy and reality will be heavily blurred.
Is Joker 2 really a musical?
Apparently no. Joker: Folie à Deux will be not musical but it WILL have many musical elements in it and is said to feature 15 numbers - with most of them being covers of well-known songs, according to Variety. As seen in the film's trailer, it features the 1965 hit What the World Needs Now Is Love, which was written by Hal David and composed by Burt Bacharach.
"I like to say it's a movie where music is an essential element." director Todd Phillips told CinemaCon on Tuesday (9th April), when asked the question.
"To me that doesn't veer to far from the first film," he said, adding that in that original film, "Arthur has music in him. He has a grace to him."
The original Joker was released in 2019 and took home a record breaking $96.2 million at the box office during its opening weekend. In total, the film took home $1.07 billion internationally, making it highest ever grossing R-Rated movie.
The film was nominated for 11 Oscars overall and and saw Joaquin Phoenix and Hildur Guðnadóttir take home an Academy Award for Best Actor and Original Music Score respectively.
