Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in a recent appearance on the Behind the Screen podcast, Sher said that production is set to begin on the film in about five or six weeks. Sher revealed that filming will largely be shot on soundstages in Los Angeles and on location in New York and that he was excited to work with Lady Gaga, who he thinks will be a “really cool fit.”

“She’s going to be a really cool fit for this movie and will create a similar kind of magic that Joaquin brought by himself,” Sher said. “The combination of the two will be exactly what we hope, which is exciting, and we’ll find magic every day on set. Hopefully, we’ll also have a bit of madness in there. We like when there is a little bit of chaos.”

Joker: Folie à Deux will once again be directed by Todd Phillips. The film will feature the return of Joaquin Phoenix as he reprises his Oscar-winning role as the titular DC villain. He will be joined by Grammy-winning superstar Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, making her the latest actress to portray the beloved DC character, following Margot Robbie and Kaley Cuoco.

Further details about its plot are still being kept under wraps, but the movie will reportedly feature some musical elements. The Joker sequel is scheduled to make its debut in October 2024, which currently pits the sequel against no direct competition.
