The spotlight may be on Arthur and Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn inthe first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux, butfans on Reddithave already spotted an easily-missed appearance from a surprise returning character.
While it remains to be seen just how far Arthur’s delusions – or shared delusions, as the French title based on multiple people exhibiting a similar mental illness would suggest – go, butone theorysuggests it’s Harley, not Joker, behind the wheel.
“Anyone else get the feeling that The Joker/Harley relationship is going to be an inverse of their comic portrayal?” oneRedditorsuggested, mirroring the early discourse around the Joker 2 trailer. “I’m thinking Arthur is trying not to relapse back into his Joker persona but Harley is the one influencing him more to embrace it.”
Perhaps the inclusion of Gary and the surprise return of Zazie Beetz’ Sophie might just indicate that there are some out there who want to save him from himself – and his new lover.
Joker: Folie à Deux, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, and Steve Coogan, is set for release on October 4. For more, be sure to check out theupcoming moviescoming your way very soon.
