In honor of Valentine's Day, Joker director Todd Phillips has revealed the first look at Lady Gaga in character in the sequel, titled Joker: Folie à Deux, as reported by IGN.

Filmmaker Todd Phillips says he is game to further explore the iconic DC villain Joker if an ideal opportunity comes his way.

Todd Phillips says comic book fans may not be pleased with the way his ‘Joker’ has shaped up as the new film is the director's own version of the DC supervillain's story. Phillips, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver, said the plot is more about how Joker becomes the man he came to be known as.

Director Todd Philips confirmed that the Joker origin movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix, will be "rated R". The filmmaker, who shared a still of Phoenix applying to make up on Instagram on Sunday, was responding to a fan query about the rating of the film.
