Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga have officially wrapped up filming for Joker: Folie à Deux. The DC Studios’ Elseworld project has been all over the news lately since set photos surfaced of Gaga’s Harley Quinn and Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker performing a dance piece in the Boroughs of New York City.
Joker 2 won’t be on DC Film fans’ timeline for some time, not until Warner Bros. decides to release a teaser for the sequel. Folie à Deux has officially completed its principal photography, the film crew was last spotted filming the staircase musical featuring Joker and Harley Quinn.
UPDATE: Todd Phillips & Gaga confirm production wrap with new look at Harley and Joker
From the looks of it, fans are taken aback by Joker: Folie à Deux’s production wrap-up news. While Gaga stans who have been regularly following the day-to-day updates on Joker 2 were not surprised to hear the wrap-up – many Comic book movie fans are puzzled principal photography is complete for folie à deux.
It should be noted Joker 2 has been in production since December 2022. Moreover, 2019’s Joker finished its principal photography in three months though the sequel required an additional month.
The filming wrap-up for Joker: Folie à Deux has some fans puzzled over the long wait for its release set in October 2024. If the sequel does not require additional photography – the project will have an 18-month duration for its post-production process. It remains to be seen if Warner Bros. Pictures’ DC Studios could move up its theatrical window release at a later point.
Meanwhile, fans who visited the iconic Bronx staircase location on the last filming day of Joker: Folie à Deux were able to meet Joaquin Phoenix. The Her actor greeted fans with handshakes while donning a shabby suit as the Joker 2 character Arthur Fleck. Readers can check it out below.

Hmm looks like the scenes when they’re at the Criminal Court could be the final scenes. Or maybe they just filmed the movie out of order. https://t.co/UdTTXsPIR1

Joker 2’s Bronx staircase filming was quite a public viewing which allowed the paparazzi to share some spoilery images of Harley Quinn and Joker’s musical sequence. Some fans were concerned the behind-the-scenes set images would reveal too much from the movie though Cinephiles were quick to remind them the scene in question would barely take up 3 minutes of a 2-hour runtime feature.
Joker 2 releases in theaters on October 4, 2024.
