It features the Joker singing "For Once in My Life" and a duet with Harley on "Get Happy," as well as a moonlit waltz, a Joker and Harley variety show, and stair dancing.
Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as Arthur Fleck/Joker, and Lady Gaga is Harley Quinn.
Set two years after the first film, the sequel explores the deepening connection between Joker and Harley Quinn as they descend into madness while falling in love.
The first "Joker" movie, released in 2019, became the highest-grossing R-rated film, earning over $1 billion at the box office.
"Joker 2: Folie À Deux" is expected to feature an ensemble cast, including Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, and Zazie Beetz.
The film is expected to be a jukebox musical with well-known songs and may feature musical numbers inside the Joker's head as he is a patient in Arkham Asylum.
It received an R rating for violence, language, sexuality, and nudity and was mostly shot in Los Angeles, inspired by Gotham City.
Worldwide release is scheduled for October 4, with a U.S. opening on October 2, 2024.
