New face in the cast of Joker 2 – Catherine Keener joins a key role  

The Oscar-nominated actress is the newest addition to his cast

According to Deadline, a new face has been added to the cast of Joker 2 , or as it will be officially titled, ‘ Joker: Folie à Deux ‘. 

The reason for Catherine Keener, who based on the report will play a big and important role, opposite Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, who will play the Joker and Harleen Quinzel – that is, the later daughter of the ” Clown Prince of Crime ” known as Harley Quinn. Her role, however, remains a secret for the sequel directed and written by Todd Phillips. 

Keener has recently been seen in The Adam Project and the Netflix series Brand New Cherry Flavor , as well as Jordan Peele ‘s Get Out (2015) . She has been nominated twice for an Oscar in her career with the films ” Capote ” (2005) and ” Being John Malkovich ” (1999). Another recent addition to the cast, who we don’t know who will be playing, is Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter). 

The sequel titled “Joker: Folie à Deux” (in free translation Joker: Madness for Two) will basically be a musical directed and written by  Todd Phillips . The French Folie à Deux refers to a term describing said mental disorder affecting two or more people.

DC  Films  and  Warner Bros.  have agreed to pay in…gold for  Joaquin Phoenix ‘s appearance  in Joker 2, as the Oscar-winning actor will receive a $20 million fee.

The groundwork for Joker 2 has been in place since the first film swept the box office with over $1 billion in receipts, and Joaquin Phoenix has also been positive about returning as Arthur Fleck for a sequel, given that it was the film that won the coveted Oscar for Best Actor.

Joker : Folie à Deux is slated to hit theaters on October 4, 2024.
