Whatever Happened to That Clown-Makeup Joker 2 Shoot?
Updated July 2026. This early clown-makeup sighting was Joaquin Phoenix filming Joker: Folie à Deux, which wrapped and premiered at Cannes in May 2024 before its October 2024 release. The sequel reunited Phoenix with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn but underwhelmed almost everyone: roughly $208 million worldwide against a $200 million-plus budget, a “D” CinemaScore, and reviews far colder than the original film’s. Director Todd Phillips has since ruled out a third Joker movie or any Harley Quinn spinoff, meaning these Los Angeles street scenes captured what’s likely the character’s final on-screen chapter for now.
