The very first image of Joker: Folie à Deux has been revealed by Lady Gaga, and it looks absolutely stunning.
It depicts Joaquin Phoenix's character forcing Lady Gaga up against a wall, and the tension is obvious throughout the scene.

Since the singer will be playing the role of Harley Quinn in the highly anticipated follow-up film, this photograph may depict the first time that the two of them come into contact with one another.
In response to the photograph, one individual commented, "ON MY KNEES AND IT'S NOT IN PRAYER."
One more person chimed in, saying, "You are going to be wonderful as Dr. Harleen Quinzel and Harley Quinn."
Thirdly, "WE WILL BE SEATED" was written by someone.
The French phrase folie à deux literally translates to "the shared craziness of two," therefore we can only speculate as to what kind of clues this provides for the next sequel.
Despite this, it is important to point out that the word "love interest" is extremely one-sided given that Harley Quinn is the sole romantic interest the Joker has in the DC Comics universe.
In the comics, the Joker does not truly reciprocate Harley's sentiments, and the two of them are involved in a relationship that is unhealthy and destructive.
At the Arkham Asylum, where Harley is working as the villain's psychologist, Joker and Harley Quinn have a meeting.
In the final moments of "Joker," we had a glimpse of Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) while he was still incarcerated at Arkham State Hospital, just before he made his daring escape.
According to The Wrap Since the majority of Joker: Folie à Deux will take place in Arkham Asylum, we might get a chance to observe how these two continue to develop their connection there.
The literal translation of the French phrase "folie à deux" is "the shared craziness of two."
In an interview with EW from the year 2021, Margot Robbie, who had previously portrayed the character of Harley Quinn, stated that she required a break from acting in the role.
Therefore, it did not come as a shock when she was not chosen to perform the role of the criminal queen-pin.
"I was kind of like, oof, I need a break from Harley because she's exhausting," Robbie told EW about her time spent portraying Harley Quinn. "It was kind of back-to-back filming Birds... and filming [Suicide Squad]."
However, she cannot wait to witness Lady Gaga's interpretation of the role since she thinks it will be incredibly interesting.
She expressed her delight on the matter to MTV, saying, "It makes me so pleased because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way that Macbeth or Batman always gets handed from great actor to great actor."
"It is such an honour to have developed a foundation solid enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get the opportunity to try their hand at playing," said the actor who originated the role.
The date of the release of Joker: Folie à deux has been planned for October 4th, 2024.
