‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ – Brendan Gleeson Joins the Cast
Joaquin Phoenix will star alongside Lady Gaga in upcoming Warner Bros. sequel Joker: Folie à Deux from director Todd Phillips, and Deadline brings us more casting today.
Brendan Gleeson (“Mr. Mercedes”) has joined the cast, Deadline reports.
No word yet on the character Gleeson will be playing. Stay tuned.
We recently learned that Zazie Beetz is also in talks to reprise the role of Sophie Dumond from Joker, the neighbor that Arthur Fleck/Joker imagined having a romance with.
The sequel brings Joker back to theaters on October 4, 2024.
Filming is expected to kick off in December of this year.
“Folie à Deux” is the term meaning “shared psychosis” or “shared delusional disorder,” which is likely a reference to the fact that Lady Gaga is playing Harley Quinn.
Todd Phillips and Scott Silver are writing the sequel to the hit 2019 movie.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
