New Delhi: ‘Joker: Folie á Deux ‘, the sequel to the 2019 film ‘Joker’ has been hyped by the fans, especially after Lady Gaga’s first look as Harley Quinn was shared by the makers. The film is in news again as a few people spotted Joaquin Phoenix shooting for the sequel on the roads. A behind-the-scenes video and a few pictures have gone viral on the internet.
In the viral video, Phoenix can be seen running on the streets of Los Angeles in his trademark Joker costume. The catch here was that he was not alone, the video shows three Jokers in the chase sequence running from someone. He can also be seen tumbling down and escaping like in the prequel.

The shoot for the sequel began in December. The plot of the film is not revealed yet, but as per the comics, the film might show the origin story of Harley Quinn. In the comics, Joker and Harley meet in a mental asylum, where the latter works as therapist Dr. Harleen Quinzel and falls for Joker. The title ‘Folie à Deux’ also indicates a mental illness shared by two people, which hints that the story might follow the events from the comics.
