Joaquin Phoenix returns Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips’s Joker: Folie à Deux

Joaquin Phoenix returns Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips’s Joker: Folie à Deux 

Arthur Fleck will return in Joker: Folie à Deux, and he will bring with him a whole new ensemble. Todd Phillips’s 2019 movie Joker was arguably the year’s biggest lightning rod in cinemas, with significant pre-release debate that the movie’s story of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) transforming into the Joker could inspire a new legion of mass shooters. Despite this, Joker became one of 2019’s biggest movies, earning over $1 billion worldwide with Phoenix’s performance as Fleck being particularly well-received.


Joker tells the tale of professional clown-for-hire Arthur Fleck snapping after a lifetime of mistreatment and poverty, and his actions as Joker inspiring an uprising of Gotham City’s downtrodden against the city’s elite. By contrast, other than the film being A Star is Born-style musical, the story of Joker: Folie à Deux remains under wraps. This includes how Joker: Folie à Deux follows Joker‘s ending and whether it confirms that its predecessor’s events actually happened or were only in Arthur’s head, the latter being a widespread theory driven by the movie’s ambiguity. Here is the cast of Joker: Folie à Deux.
 
Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as Arthur Fleck a.k.a. Joker in Joker: Folie à Deux. Phoenix’s early credits as a child actor include Kids Don’t Tell and Space Camp. Phoenix later broke out as an adult with his portrayal of Commodus in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator and Merrill Hess in M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs, later appearing as Lucius Hunt in Shyamalan’s follow-up The Village. Some of Joaquin Phoenix’s other notable roles include Theodore Twombly in Her, Jesus in 2018’s Mary Magdalene, and Napoleon Bonaparte in Ridley Scott’s 2023 movie Napoleon. With the vague nature of the ending of Joker, the return of Phoenix as Arthur Fleck also raises more questions than answers about whether Joker: Folie à Deux is a direct sequel to its predecessor or a standalone story.
Pop star Stefani Germanotta is known by the stage name Lady Gaga, and portrays Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux. Gaga made her film debut in 2013’s Machete Kills, and subsequently portrayed Bertha in 2014’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Gaga also portrayed Ally Maine in Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut A Star is Born, for which she earned an Academy Award nomination for her performance, and won Best Original Song for “Shallow”. Additionally, Gaga also portrayed Patrizia Reggiani in Ridley Scott’s 2021 movie House of Gucci, while she also provided the song “Hold My Hand” for the 2022 mega-hit Top Gun: Maverick.
