Todd Phillips

has received an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association (MPA).

Movie theaters, and the studios that provide their content, have been clawing their way out of a financial crater ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began. After Avengers: Endgame, the live-action Lion King, and Todd Phillips’ Joker helped fuel record-breaking box-office returns in 2019, the pandemic-era lockdowns froze theaters in their tracks, and the subsequent thaw has been slow and difficult for every industry that touches cinema.

2019's movie has been imagined as an open-world game. Considering the award-winning movie took a different approach to comic book movies, following the likes of and in its story and tone rather than following more classic comic book movie fare like the DC movies that came before it, it's the last movie anyone would expect to be adapted into a game, and yet it looks visually impressive.

With Joker: Folie à Deux inching closer to its release, fans have realised that Batman isn’t a part of this Joker’s story. This has raised many questions about whether we will ever get to see Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker facing off against Batman and whether it is even a good idea to make it happen in a Joker 3 movie.

The Joker 2 trailer has arrived – and it's spurred a very convincing fan theory. 

The first for the DC Studios sequel to 2019’s Joker has been revealed, previewing the upcoming musical. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 4, 2024.

Nearly five years after the release of Joker, the Oscar-winning DC comics-inspired drama starring Joaquin Phoenix, its sequel is finally ready for a spotlight. The first trailer for Joker 2 debuted on Tuesday at CinemaCon, the trade show for all things theatrical release, and shows off Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, and some of the new music that has been rumored for the film.

DC Studios has released a new revealing when the first full trailer for the sequel will drop.

If Warner Bros. Pictures had successfully intimidated trans filmmaker Vera Drew out of releasing her tiny pop-punk biopic The People’s Joker, it’s possible that it would have disappeared quietly: yet another small, personal indie film hunting for an audience in an oversaturated market. Instead, Vera’s hallucinogenic memoir — an energetic, rawly personal trans coming-out story built around crowdsourced digital animation — became international news.

A new has been revealed, teasing the upcoming DC Studios sequel led by Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.

The upcoming DC sequel seems to primarily be a jukebox musical, as it will mostly feature existing songs.

A Joker 2 test screening allegedly occurred, and reactions from the preview suggest fans of the first film will be pleased with the sequel, which may have some familiar faces alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.

Back in 2022, Vera Drew’s highly personal, incredibly irreverent stylized memoir movie The People’s Joker made a splashy debut at the Toronto International Film Festival — in that immediately after its premiere, DC Comics’ parent company, Warner Bros., filed a cease-and-desist order against the movie, shutting down all subsequent screenings and throwing the movie’s future into doubt. It’s taken years for the film to see the light of day, outside of the occasional festival screening. I saw it at the 2023 Fantastic Fest, where Vera Drew was present to talk about the experience, but was careful not to address the question of whether her film might ever get a real theatrical run. But now, according to the poster, it’s “coming soon. Legally. Seriously.”

Joker 2 will feature Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn and a new rumor details an elaborate musical number sequence featuring the actress.

A new report from Variety suggests that ‘s budget has increased significantly from the original price tag.

A Joker 2 song by Lady Gaga has reportedly been revealed, and fans can’t wait to hear the track because it might give birth to an iconic sequence between the leading characters.

What are the biggest movies coming in 2024? Surprisingly, there aren't as many superhero films gracing theatres this year, with DC Studios preparing to launch just one, Joker: Folie à Deux, a sequel to Todd Phillips' grounded Batman universe, introducing a new player into the mix. On the Marvel side, we've got four movies — Kraven the Hunter, Deadpool 3, Venom 3, and Madame Web — all suffered shifting release dates due to the Hollywood labour strikes. Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two was another major casualty of the strikes. Originally set to debut in November last year, it got pushed into March when the actors' union barred its star-studded cast — featuring the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh — from promotional duties and interviews.

From a Joker movie sequel to a new Batman animated series, a number of DC movies, TV shows, games, and comic books are coming out in 2024. As the DC fandom has become accustomed to, there are often many different DC projects in various stages of development at any given time, so in order to give you the clearest look possible at what to expect from DC in 2024, we’re going to list off every confirmed project with a release date (or at least a verifiable source saying it will be coming out in 2024).
