Joker 2 Cinematographer: DC Sequel Is Nearly Finished, Will Be ‘Really Surprising’

The cinematographer for the upcoming DC Studios sequel Joker: Folie á Deux has spoken about the movie’s current state of progress.

Speaking with Definition Magazine, cinematographer Lawrence Sher gave an update on the Joker sequel, saying that post-production for the movie is being finished up and noting that the film will be “really surprising to people.”

“Something I appreciate about Todd Phillips — who I’ve done seven movies with, including Joker — is that he’s always taking risks,” Sher stated. “We’ve got the new Joker coming out next year and we’re just finishing up post-production on it. This movie is a big swing and it’s going to be really surprising to people. I’m so excited for everyone to see it.”

Who is directing Joker: Folie à Deux?

Joker: Folie à Deux is once again being 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. The sequel will also feature the return of Zazie Beetz’s Sophie, along with franchise newcomers Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey.

The 2019 film was both a critical and commercial success with a worldwide gross of over $1 billion at the box office, making it the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. It received recognition from multiple major award-giving bodies, including two Oscars and two Golden Globes — both for Best Actor and Best Original Sound.
