Joker 2’s 'Fantasy of Love': Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga & Todd Phillips on Folie à Deux's Bad Romance
Arthur Fleck – the protagonist of 2019’s Joker and its sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux – was just a struggling comedian and party clown until he inspired an anarchic social movement through his Gotham City murder spree. In Joker 2, Arthur is a supervillain to some and a superstar to others. “This is in some ways the fallout of that, the idea of celebrity and what do you do when you've created this image in this character and you have to live up to it," said Joaquin Phoenix, who won the Best Actor Oscar for Joker, in a recent interview with IGN.
