At long last, the trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux has arrived. The film is set to premiere in theaters this fall, but comic book fans and Little Monsters are shivering with anticipation.
In the sequel to Joker, which serves as the villain origin story for the titular villain, we see The Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) as he falls in love with Harley Quinn — who is played by none other than Lady Gaga. As Gaga is known to slay &mdash in music, in film, and in life in general — fans have received the trailer well.
“BREATHE IF YOU AGREE THAT LADY GAGA IN JOKER,” said one fan on Twitter. Which totally tracks, as Gaga’s appearance in the trailer captures all the feelings we can’t put into words.
