Joker: Folie à Deux director Todd Phillips has shared new images of Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga as a treat for the holidays.

Phillips took to Instagram to share two images, one of Phoenix behind a door and another of Lady Gaga looking at Phoenix in his Joker make-up and suit.

"Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a beautiful new year," Phillips said. "Oct 2024. #Joker2"

Joker: Folie à Deux will be released in theaters on October 4, 2024, and Phillips previously shared an image of Phoenix in the rain and another of Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn and Phoenix's Joker together.

There is still much to learn about this sequel to 2019's Joker, but we do know it will exist outside of James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU and will actually call DC Elseworlds its home. There are also unconfirmed reports that this new movie will be a musical.

In our 10/10 review of 2019's Joker, we said it "isn’t just an awesome comic book movie, it’s an awesome movie, period. It offers no easy answers to the unsettling questions it raises about a cruel society in decline. Joaquin Phoenix’s fully committed performance and Todd Phillips’ masterful albeit loose reinvention of the DC source material make Joker a film that should leave comic book fans and non-fans alike disturbed and moved in all the right ways."
