With their last Joker film, Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix reinvented the character from the ground up. Now, they’re about to change the game all over again in Joker: Folie À Deux – a follow-up that sends Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck (and Lady Gaga’s Harley ‘Lee’ Quinzel) into song-and-dance territory. It’s one of the year’s most eagerly-anticipated films, and the new issue of Empire is your all-access guide.
How do you follow up a billion-dollar character drama take on one of the world’s most famous villains? Why, you make a music-fuelled romance, of course! Empire speaks with filmmaker Todd Phillips, stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, and more, getting the inside story on the sequel that nobody saw coming.
The September 2024 issue isn’t on newsstands until tomorrow, Thursday 1 August.
