Joker: Folie à Deux is a forthcoming American psychological thriller film directed by Todd Phillips from a screenplay co-written with Scott Silver. It is the sequel to the 2019 film Joker, and is loosely based on DC Comics characters. Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as the Joker, and Lady Gaga plays his love interest Harley Quinn. Zazie Beetz also reprises her role from the first film, while Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener have been cast in undisclosed roles. It is produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, and DC Studios in association with Joint Effort.

Joker was initially conceived as a standalone film, although Warner Bros. intended for it to launch a DC Black film series. By August 2019, Phillips had expressed interest in making a sequel, although he reiterated that Joker was not set up to have one. Phoenix hinted about reprising his role in October 2019. A sequel officially entered development in June 2022, with Gaga and Beetz joining later that year. Principal photography took place in Los Angeles, New York City, and Belleville, New Jersey, from December 2022 to April 2023.

Joker: Folie à Deux is scheduled to be released in the United States on 4 October 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
