It's good, the filming of

Joker: Folie à Deux

has started, and Todd Philips has decided to mark the occasion.

The director has unveiled a first image of Joaquin Phoenix back in the disturbing character from the Batman universe.



"Day 1. Our boy", simply wrote the filmmaker in the caption of the photo where we see the actor shirtless and just as emaciated as in the first part in the process of having his beard shaved.

This should cause a little adrenaline rush among fans of the first opus of 2019 … and give us the opportunity to recall what we know so far about this highly anticipated film.

Gotham's Umbrellas

Let's start with the cast: in addition to Joaquin Phoenix who returns as the Joker,

Folie à Deux

will mark the arrival of Lady Gaga in the role of Harley Quinn.

A choice that is not surprising when you know that Todd Philips, who was one of the producers of

A Star is Born,

chose to make the daring bet of the musical for this new opus.

Then, Harry Lawtey (

Industry

) and Brendan Gleeson (

Bons Baisers de Bruges

) will also be on the bill without their respective roles having been revealed for the moment.

Zazie Beets should take over the role of Sophie Dumond.

On the script side, it's a safe bet that Joker's relationship with Harley Quinn will be at the center of the plot.

We will end with bad news: we will have to wait almost two years before discovering

Joker: Folie à Deux

since its release has been set for October 2024.
