By Following today’s poster debut and ahead of next week’s first trailer, Todd Phillips’ “Joker: Folie A Deux” has landed an official rating from the MPA.
The title has scored an unsurprising R rating, specifically for “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity.”
The original 2019 film landed its R-rating for “strong bloody violence, disturbing behavior, language and brief sexual images.” That film grossed $1 billion and landed Joaquin Phoenix the best actor Oscar.
Phoenix returns here as Arthur Fleck here in a story that will reportedly unfold almost entirely within Gotham City’s Arkham Asylum and will have musical elements.
Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Catherine Keener, Brendan Gleeson, and Jacob Lofland co-star in the movie which Phillips once again directs from a script he wrote with Scott Silver.
The film is considered a DC Elseworlds project, thus is not part of the Peter Safran and James Gunn DC Universe. It is slated to premiere on October 4th.
