'Folie à Deux' references a delusion or mental illness shared by two people, which could suggest the chaotic and often insane relationship between Joker and his love interest, Harley Quinn.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gaga's version of the infamous anti-hero will exist in a different universe than actor Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. Robbie played Harley in 'Suicide Squad' (2016), 'Birds of Prey' (2020), and 'The Suicide Squad' (2020).
Although many details of the film and its plot are still unknown, it has been confirmed that it will be "mostly a jukebox musical."
Todd Phillips, the film's director, told Variety that the 'Joker' sequel will integrate 15 reinterpretations of "very well-known" songs.
