The production photos from the Joker: Folie à Deux set reveal Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix dancing on the Bronx staircase (shown in the first Joker movie).
One memorable scene in the 2019 film featured Phoenix dancing maniacally to Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll Part 2” while on staircase near Shakespeare Avenue in the Bronx, New York.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” is putting its own spin on the staircase scene as Phoenix is now accompanied by Gaga’s Harley Quinn at the same location. The two have their clown makeup on and are seen dancing, smoking and laughing as they film a set piece on the franchise’s iconic staircase. Whatever music will accompany this scene has yet to be revealed.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” has been filming at locations across New York City for a couple weeks.
Todd Phillips returns to the director’s chair for the sequel, plot details for which remain under wraps.
The film is rumored to be a musical and to take place in Arkham Asylum, where Phoenix’s Joker falls for Gaga’s Harley Quinn.
The supporting cast includes Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland and Harry Lawtey. Zazie Beetz, who starred in the first “Joker” as Sophie, is also returning.
Phillips’ “Joker” became a box office phenomenon in 2019, grossing just over $1 billion worldwide to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history (unadjusted for inflation).
The movie won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Fest and earned 11 Oscar nominations, including best picture and director.
Phoenix won the Oscar for best actor, as did Hildur Guðnadóttir for original score.
Warner will release “Joker: Folie à Deux” in theaters October 4, 2024.
