The official announcement of Joker 2 a few months ago had mixed reactions but also unexpected surprises regarding the style of the film. 

You see, Joaquin Phoenix will return as Arthur Fleck, now being the “Clown Prince of Crime” only by his side will be his familiar daughter, Harley Quinn, in this case played by Lady Gaga. And not only that but the sequel titled ” Joker: Folie à Deux ” will basically be a musical directed and written by Todd Phillips.
