The whole world is a stage in the upcoming Joker: Folie à Deux, director Todd Phillips’ hotly anticipated sequel to the billion dollar box office hit Joker (2019).

The sequel brings Joker back to theaters on October 4, 2024, and we’ve learned today that the trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux will debut on Tuesday, April 9 – one week from today.

While you wait, check out the first official Joker 2 poster below, which gives us a sneak peek at Joaquin Phoenix‘s return as Joker and Lady Gaga’s debut as Harley Quinn.

Still not much is known about the sequel to Phillips’ hit 2019 film, which amassed more than $1 billion at the global box office and earned 11 Academy Awards nominations, landing a Best Actor win for Phoenix and Best Original score for composer Hildur Guðnadóttir. It’s said to be a “jukebox musical,” meaning a musical filled with existing songs rather than original songs.

Stay tuned for more and come on back here next week for the official trailer.

“Folie à Deux” is the term meaning “shared psychosis” or “shared delusional disorder,” which is surely a reference to the twisted relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn.

Zazie Beetz will reprise the role of Sophie Dumond from Joker, while Brendan Gleeson (“Mr. Mercedes”) and Catherine Keener (Get Out, “Brand New Cherry Flavor”) also star.

Todd Phillips and Scott Silver wrote the sequel to the hit 2019 movie.

There is no The Strangers franchise without Bryan Bertino, who directed the original home invasion movie that paved the way for a sequel and now a reboot trilogy later this year.

Bertino (The Dark and the Wicked) is also making his own return to the horror genre with the upcoming Vicious, which has Dakota Fanning (The Watchers) on board to star.

Vicious has already been dated for release on August 8, 2025, and Deadline brings us another update this week. For starters, Devyn Nekoda (Scream VI) will also star.

Kathryn Hunter (Poor Things), Mary McCormack (The West Wing), Rachel Blanchard (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Klea Scott (Millennium), and Emily Mitchell (Ordinary Angels) have also joined the cast of Bryan Bertino’s Vicious, which is a Paramount production.

“The plot follows a young woman who must spend the night fighting for her existence as she slips down a disturbing rabbit hold contained inside a mysterious gift from a late-night visitor.”

Bryan Bertino wrote the script and will be directing the film, an Atlas Independent production. Melinda Whitaker serves as executive producer, with Richard Suckle also producing.

The horror film reunites Sydney Sweeney with director Michael Mohan (The Voyeurs), who directed from a script by Andrew Lobel. Sweeney stars in Immaculate as Cecilia, a woman of devout faith who is offered a fulfilling new role at an illustrious Italian convent.

“Her warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside is soon interrupted as it becomes clearer to Cecilia that her new home harbors some dark and horrifying secrets.”

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Sydney Sweeney is this familiar religious horror movie’s saving grace. Sister Cecilia is a doe-eyed innocent whose unlikely circumstances force her into a tremendously satisfying arc. She attempts to outmaneuver a powerful foe, and when things really go off the rails, Sweeney plunges headfirst into a primal ferocity that leads to one bold, crowd-cheering conclusion.”
