“Joker: Folie à Deux” continues to take shape. Apparently there is a good chance that Zazie Beetz will return for the “Joker” sequel.
Apparently the signs are good that Zazie Beetz (31) will return in the “Joker” sequel “Joker: Folie à Deux”. The industry portal “Deadline” reportsthat the 31-year-old is currently in talks about slipping back into the role of Sophie Dumond.
The sequel by director and screenwriter Todd Phillips (51) apparently continues to take shape. Beetz’ role Sophie was introduced in the first part as Arthur Fleck’s (Joaquin Phoenix, 47) neighbor. Fleck hoped for a romance with the single mother. It is unclear how Sophie could continue in “Joker: Folie à Deux”.
This is what is known about the film so far
In addition to Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga (36) should also play. The singer confirmed this via Instagram itself. Nothing is known about the exact content of “Joker: Folie à deux”. Part one showed the transformation of the shy Arthur into the dangerous psychopath Joker. “The Hollywood Reporter” reported in Junethat the sequel will no longer be a dark character study, but a musical, as anonymous sources are said to have confirmed.
However, it will be more than two years before cinema fans in this country can enjoy “Joker: Folie à deux” – Warner Bros. Discovery has given October 4, 2024 as the theatrical release.
