New Joker: Folie à Deux set photos and video gives us our first glimpse of Lady Gaga in her Harley Quinn costume.
Please consider everything beyond this point as potential spoilers.
We recently got a chance to see Joaquin Phoenix filming a scene, and then came a video of Lady Gaga filming a scene, but in very normal looking clothes. Some new set photos and video have removed any questions we might have still had about whether she will go full Harley Quinn in the movie.

While there still has been no official releases or announcements about her actually being Harley, these photos have pretty much removed the need for that.

There is also a short video of police leading her up the steps of the building, and then her exiting as well.

Joker hit theaters in 2019 and quickly became the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time–a seat it still holds more than 3 years later–by a significant margin. The Clown Prince of Crime raked in $1.07 billion at the worldwide box office, followed by Deadpool 2 and Deadpool at $786 and $782 million respectively. Phillips’ unique take on the character was also nominated for 11 Academy Awards, winning two of those. Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor, while Hildur Guðnadóttir took him a golden statue for Original Music Score.
Phoenix returns to once again star in the sequel, and Phillips has returned to both write and direct. Alongside Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn, there are currently-unconfirmed reports of Zazie Beetz, Catherine Keener, Harry Lawtey, and Jacob Lofland joining the cast as well.
The film’s title already feels like a solid fit for the characters. The term ‘folie à deux,’ or ‘folly of two’ is a french term that refers to a condition of shared psychosis or shared delusional disorder. Applying real-world medical terms to fictional characters can be rocky, but if ever there was a term to describe Joker and Harley Quinn, this sure seems like it.
Joker: Folie à Deux is currently scheduled to hit theaters on Oct. 4, 2024.
