Speaking toDefinition Magazine(viaHome of DCU), cinematographer Lawrence Sher shared the insight. “Next year we’re releasing the new Joker movie, and we’re currently in the final stages of post-production,” he told the publication. “It’s a pretty risky movie and it’s going to be surprising for people. I’m so excited for everyone to see it.”

Todd Phillips’ follow-up has a lot of secrecy around it, but we do know it starsLady Gaga as Harley Quinn, and from what we’ve seen from the set,it seems like the action will take place at Arkham Asylum. Then there’s the fact that it will be a musical too, which composerHildur Guðnadóttir teased features several songs. Could the latter be the risk that Sher is referring to? We’ll have to wait and see.

As well as the two leads,Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keenerhave joined in mystery roles andZazie Beetz is back as Arthur’s neighbor Sophie. Phillips has also given us some images from the new movie too ofPhoenix dancing in the rainandLady Gaga looking disturbed as Quinn.
