The film is titled ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ and as per the comics, this might show the origin story of Harley Quinn. In the comics, Joker meets Harley in a mental asylum, where she works as a therapist Dr Harleen Quinzel and falls for Joker. The title ‘Folie à Deux’ also indicates a mental illness shared by two people.

The character of Harley Quinn was last played by Margot Robbie in the DC Extended Universe.

While Phillips is back with the sequel, it also marks his second collaboration with Lady Gaga after ‘A Star Is Born’. ‘Joker 2’ will release in cinemas on April 10, next year.

Fans were taken by surprise by Lady Gaga’s first look and they seems excited about the film.
