Folie À Deux refers to a psychological condition where two people close to each other share the same delusion. The delusional belief is brought by the person who has more dominance between the two and such bleeds into the psyche of the other one. From the comics, this exact thing happened between Harleen Quinzel and Joker, luring her to help him escape from the asylum and she puts herself into anything that Joker wants, thus, becoming Harley Quinn. This could possibly be what Joker 2: Folie À Deux could have in store given the involvement of Harley Quinn in the movie and with a musical coming through, expect a waltz of a story from both Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga. Joker 2: Folie À Deux is set to release on October 4, 2024.
