All eyes are on the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now. Can Deadpool & Wolverine be the Defying superhero fatigue and breathe new life into the franchise? Based on the reactions to the hotly anticipated crossover event, a strong Marvel film is coming our way. But the competition is not sleeping.
DC also has an extremely exciting film coming out this year: Joker: Folie à deux. Here we can expect two of the most iconic comic characters at all. On the one hand, there is of course the Joker, whom we already met in the first part from 2019. On the other hand, Harley Quinn is waiting.

The story follows on from the disturbing finale of the previous film. After Arthur Fleck has shot TV star Murray Franklin on camera, he comes to Arkham State Hospitalwhere he meets Harleen Quinzel. We can assume that this encounter will not have good consequences for anyone.
Joaquin Phoenix returns in the role of Arthur Fleck, who has already completed his transformation into the Joker. We are all the more excited to see how Lady Gaga will fare as Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn. Just like Phoenix, she plays a completely new interpretation her character, which has nothing to do with the previous versions.
Before Gaga, Margot Robbie was the face of Harley Quinn at DC. She played the legendary character in three films, starting with Suicide Squad (2016) and Birds of Prey (2020) to The Suicide Squad (2021). The Joker films, however, take place in a universe of its own which is detached from all other DC projects.
