Joker 2 director Todd Phillips has unveiled an unnerving first look at Joaquin Phoenix's return as the Clown Prince of Crime. The actor will reprise his role in the upcoming DC sequel, which will co-star 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn

In the picture, which we can see below, an emaciated-looking Arthur Fleck is being shaved by a uniformed person. Considering Joker ended with Arthur incarcerated at Arkham Asylum, it's safe to assume the person shaving him works at the facility. The picture 🌟doesn't give anything else away, but the moody lightinꦛg perfectly matches the tone of the first film.

Along with Gaga and Phoenix, the film also stars 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Brendan Gleeson in a mystery role, along with Catherine Keener and Zazie Beetz. Beetz returns as her character from♛ the first film, Arthur's neighbour Sophie. 

Despite some 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:major shake-ups in the DC univer🗹se lately, it seems Joker 2 remains unaffected – probably because it's set entirely in its own world, unconnected from the main DCEU or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman

Joker 2 arrives on October 4, 2024. Until then, check out how to watch all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC movies in order to get caught up on the universe so far.
