New Joker 2 Trailer Unveils Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn and a Twisted Love Story

Exciting news for fans of the Joker and Harley Quinn as a new trailer for Joker 2 has been released, offering a thrilling glimpse into their dark and captivating romance.

The latest footage shows Harley becoming infatuated with the Joker through a television broadcast, even breaking a shop window to bring a TV set home. Their unconventional love story unfolds with scenes of them singing and dancing together. Joker is shown on trial, while Harley is seen smirking ominously.

Towards the end, Harley suggests to Joker that they should "give the people what they want", which teases more excitement to come. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as Joker, and Lady Gaga making her debut as Harley Quinn. Gaga has promised her portrayal of Harley Quinn will be unique and true to the character and the storyline.

Additionally, Zazie Beetz returns as Sophie, and the cast is rounded out by Steve Coogan, Catherine Keener, and Brendan Gleeson. The film carries an R rating for strong violence, pervasive language, some sexuality, and brief nudity.

Although Joker 2 is based on DC characters, it stands apart from the new DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, spearheaded by James Gunn and Peter Safran, and is rather an Elseworlds title, akin to Matt Reeves's Batman universe. The first entry in the new DCU will be a Superman film, previously known as Superman: Legacy, with the first project being the animated series Creature Commandos, set to debut this year.

Joker: Folie à Deux is set to premiere in theaters on October 4. For more information on upcoming DC movies and TV shows, be sure to check out our comprehensive guide for what’s coming up this year.
