Joker 2 filming finally wraps up
Beside Gaga, Joker 2’s director Todd Phillips also announced the news by unveiling the first look of Joker and Harley Quinn on his social media handles.
Joker: Folie à Deux (The Madness of Two) lands as the much-awaited sequel to the 2019 hit DC film, and it is finally ready for post-production. Todd Phillips’ directorial highly-anticipated film stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga as Joker and Harley Quinn.
After the announcement of Lady Gaga joining the ensemble cast, fans levelled up their excitement, which piqued their curiosity regarding the appearance of Harley Quinn in the upcoming film. Since the filming began, numerous pictures of both stars as iconic DC characters have made ripples on the internet.
Now, Lady Gaga shared a proper look of her character from Joker 2 on Twitter. The pop singer wrote, “That’s a wrap (love, fire, joker card emoticons) X, Harleen.”
The image showcased a raw and realistic look of the character, differing from the comic book appearance. Comparing Quinn’s look with Joker, both form a perfect chemistry as a chaotic pair.
The picture from the shoot went viral, where Gaga is seen in a gloomy look, while in the other, Joaquin is in his Joker avatar. The most-awaited film is ready to smash all the previous records, and fans are eagerly awaiting to witness the classic thriller once again on the silver screens.
Todd Phillips unveiled the look of Harley and Joker by writing, “That’s a wrap. Thanks to these two (+ the entire cast) and the BEST crew that the film industry has to offer. From top to bottom. Gonna crawl into a cave now (edit room) and put it all together.”
Earlier, the filmmaker also dropped a picture featuring both characters on Valentine’s Day. He wrote, “Happy Valentine’s Day”.
Joker 2 holds massive hype due to the success of its predecessor (first solo film on The Clown Prince of Crime). The 2019 film took the box office collection to new heights with its debut. Keeping aside its commercial success, the DC film also bagged two Oscars, one for Best Actor in a Leading Role (thanks to Phoenix’s performance) and the other for Best Music.
Joker 2 will pay more attention to Arthur Fleck’s life and continue from the aftermath of 2019’s installment. However, Arkham Asylum was introduced earlier in the story, but it’s still not clear whether the makers have kept the original sketch for Harley Quinn’s character or will replace it. Rumours suggested that Harley might be a fellow Arkham patient.
Joker 2 has been making buzz for quite a few months, and earlier Lady Gaga was spotted shooting in the iconic New York City staircase, which became highly popular with Phoneix in the first film.
Todd Phillips’ directorial Joker: Folie à Deux is eyeing a release on October 4, 2024.
