Previous reports have stated that the film will feature at least 15 cover songs, and is "mostly a jukebox musical". 

One of the songs said to be featured in the film is "That’s Entertainment" from the 1953 musical "The Band Wagon". A few original songs may be added to the film. 

Details about the plot of Folie à Deux have not been confirmed, but the film is said to be a drama with parts of the narrative taking place in and around Arkham Asylum.

In addition to Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, the cast of the film features Emmy nominee Zazie Beetz, and Oscar nominees Catherine Keener and Brendan Gleeson

Oscar-nominated director Todd Phillips, who also produced the 2019 A Star Is Born, starring Lady Gaga, directs the screenplay he co-wrote with Scott Silver. 

In the Batman canon, Harley Quinn (Gaga) begins her journey as Dr. Harleen Quinzel, an Arkham Asylum therapist who falls in love with Joker and joins him as his oft-abused love interest and villainous sidekick. Todd Phillips' original 2019 film left the film's central character, Arthur Fleck/Joker in the Arkham State Hospital.

Joker: Folie à Deux will be released in theaters on October 4.
