Joker: Folie à Deux is now in full swing on the set, and real behind-the-scenes footage keeps coming in on social media. From Lady Gaga’s first official appearance as Harley Quinn to a chase scene through the streets of Los Angeles, the movie keeps revealing more and more interesting details. Now, even more new photos and videos show that the set at Arkham Asylum is in pretty bad shape.
The upcoming musical Joker: Folie à Deux is the follow-up to Arthur Fleck’s thrilling journey into his alter ego, Joker. We remember that Joaquin Phoenix’s character, Fleck, was sent back to Arkham Asylum at the end of the first Joker movie (2019) after his guest spot on the Franklin Murray Show ended in violence. We don’t know much about his jail time yet, except for the first official photo, which was shown by director Todd Phillips and showed Fleck/Joker with a shaved head. But it looks like he decides to leave on his own terms and doesn’t want to leave anything behind. The set of Arkham Asylum is located in Newark, New Jersey, and new candid footage posted by fans on social media shows the building itself burning down. Whether this was concocted by both Joker and Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga) remains to be seen. Phillips hasn’t confirmed or denied the rumours that Gaga’s Harley Quinn will be a real Arkham patient instead of her usual psychiatrist role, but the rumours keep going around. If so, it seems like a very explosive way to get known in the criminal world.
