Fans are mesmerized by the haunting brilliance of Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of the Joker as they witness his iconic and chilling smile in the final moments of the Joker: Folie à Deux trailer.
On Wednesday, April 10, the highly anticipated first official trailer for the sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 film, Joker, was unveiled, sparking widespread excitement among fans. Titled Joker: Folie à Deux, the upcoming DC Studios movie stars Joaquin Phoenix, who reprises his titular role as the menacing Joker, alongside Lady Gaga, who portrays his equally unhinged romantic partner, Harley Quinn.
The aforementioned trailer, released through Warner Bros. official social media handles, predominantly features the duo scheming to wreak havoc on Gotham City, while simultaneously engaging in a manic dance to the tunes of What the World Needs Now is Love, across the streets. However, it's the chilling final shot of the trailer, occurring at the 1.56-minute mark, that has fans buzzing.
In this scene, Gaga's character visits Joker in prison, demanding to see his true self. Using her red lipstick, she draws a smile on the glass partition between them, prompting Joker to seamlessly morph his mouth into the mark, giving his lover a classic Joker grin. Fans have dubbed this moment as "perfection" and more, intensifying anticipation for the film's release.
