Joker 2 launches on October 4, 2024 in the US, so probably on October 3rd in Germany. The date was already circulating yesterday, but had not yet been officially confirmed. This also applies to Lady Gaga’s participation in the sequel. She shared the video on her own Twitter channel.
In the teaser we see the silhouettes of Phoenix and Lady Gaga dancing to the tune of Cheek to Cheek by Fred Astaire and Irving Berlin. The song is from the 1935 musical I dance my way into your heart, it probably sounds familiar to you because it is played in Boss Baby, among others.

What is Joker 2 about?
Joker 2 is supposed to be a musical. And what role does Lady Gaga play? It’s rumored to be Harley Quinn, and of course that makes the most sense in the Joker constellation. Her role has not yet been confirmed. According to a source from The Wrap, large parts of the DC blockbuster will be in Gotham’s maximum-security psychiatric facility, Arkham Asylum to play. Perhaps the emerging love story between the Joker and Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga) is told there. As with Part 1, Todd Phillips, who was previously best known for the Hangover trilogy, acts as the director.
