Production for the highly-anticipated Joker sequel has finally started. The film, currently known as Joker: Folie à Deux, once again stars Joaquin Phoenix as the titular character. However, Lady Gaga will also be joining the cast this time around, and she’s just shared a new photo from the Joker 2 set.
Fans have been eager to see just how Lady Gaga will fit into the upcoming film. After all, not only is she attached to play Harley Quinn, but it’s expected that there will be musical elements involved as well. This certainly suggests a much different direction from its predecessor. So, with that in mind, fans are eager for any insight they can get.
Now, as shared via Lady Gaga’s Instagram account, we have a new sneak-peek at what’s to come. However, the caption mostly focuses on her Academy Award nomination for “Best Original Song” for Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick. Interestingly, she does share the following towards the end:
“I’m on set filming now big love to little monsters!”

Perhaps we’ll see more exciting Joker 2 set images from Lady Gaga as filming continues. For now, however, it’s great to see that the Joker sequel is already underway. There are certainly numerous possibilities for where the story could go at this point.
Additionally, the film will remain unchanged by the new positions of DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. So fans won’t have to worry about any potential cancellations. This means that fans can simply sit back and wait for the film to hit theaters next year. What a time to be a fan!
Todd Phillips is currently returning from his work on Joker to direct the sequel, which he co-wrote the screenplay for alongside Scott Silver.
Joker: Folie à Deux is slated for release on October 4th, 2024.
