The director of "Joker 2" shares new stills: Gaga looks at Uncle Phoenix affectionately

Joker 2 director Todd Phillips gave fans a Christmas gift by sharing two new stills from the film on Instagram, including a photo of the lead actors Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga on the same screen. He wrote in the post: "Happy holidays to everyone and have a wonderful new year."

In the first photo, Phoenix's Joker appears to be in jail, which could be punishment for his actions in the first film, or where Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn will meet him. In the second photo, Phoenix puts on his classic Joker makeup, while Lady Gaga looks at him lovingly.

"Joker 2" is scheduled to be released on October 4, 2024.
