Joker: Folie à Deux’s first teaser trailer was just released, and in its first 24 hours, it received more views than any Warner Bros. trailer since Barbie, the blockbuster film. In 2019, DC released Joker, a box office smash that brought in over $1 billion and set a record for the highest-grossing R-rated film ever. In Joker: Folie à Deux, Joaquin Phoenix, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of the title character, makes a comeback with Lady Gaga as a whole new interpretation of Harley Quinn.

There’s no way to know if Joker: Folie à Deux will reach the same critical and financial heights as its predecessor, but the movie’s first teaser trailer certainly bodes well. If the musical aspects are well executed like they were in the first movie, Joker: Folie À Deux could become another massive success for DC and Warner Bros. After a string of box office disappointments for DC, this would be huge for the comic giant’s cinematic reputation.
