Filmmaker Todd Phillips has shared a teaser image from 'Joker: Folie a Deux', announcing day one of work on the Joaquin Phoenix starrer. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Phillips posted an image of Joaquin in character as the movie's protagonist Arthur Fleck.
The picture shows Joaquin giving a dead-eyed look as he’s receiving a shave from what appears to be an orderly at the facility. The director captioned the picture on Instagram and wrote, “Day 1. Our boy. #joker.
Though the plot details remain closely guarded, the 'Joker' sequel will pick up with Phoenix's killer clown after he's been admitted to Arkham Asylum. Joaquin will be joined by Lady Gaga for the sequel, who has been cast in a role reported to be a take on the DC Comics villain Harley Quinn.
For the unversed, the 2019 film was both a critical and commercial success, with a worldwide gross of over $1 billion at the box office, making it the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. It received recognition from multiple major award-giving bodies, including two Oscars and two Golden Globes, both for Best Actor and Best Original Sound.
