The reveal sparked excitement among fans, with many expressing their anticipation for the film. Comments flooded Phillips' social media, with one fan writing, "Thank you so much for this gift ," while another eagerly proclaimed, "So ready for the movie of the year."

Phoenix will play Arthur Fleck again in "Joker: Folie a Deux," while Gaga will play a figure modelled like Harley Quinn from the comic books. The Hollywood Reporter states that the movie, which is named after the clinical phrase "Folie a Deux," which refers to a shared delusional disease suffered by two or more people, usually within the same family, examines the turbulent romantic connection between the protagonists.

"Joker: Folie a Deux," which is slated for release on October 4, is a sequel to the highly successful "Joker," which made over $1 billion in revenue globally when it was first released in 2019. Phoenix won an Oscar for playing the title role in the original "Joker," following his remarkable performance that won him praise from critics.
