After almost 5 years of waiting, yesterday the official trailer for Joker 2 was finally revealed, and immediately the teaser went viral on social media not only because the talent of Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga is undeniable, but also because the Internet has started to compare the film with La La Land.
Incredibly, there could be similarities between these two films, but we were all in for a huge surprise when we discovered that several scenes from the movie starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling bear a striking resemblance to those of the highly anticipated sequel to Joker. Hundreds of people took on the task of analyzing the trailer in search of similar details, and what they discovered left us all astonished, so through social media platforms like X, formerly Twitter, several users have already begun to refer to the Batman villain’s film as the La La Land for psychotics or schizophrenics.
Joker 2, the New La La Land
The first evidence of similarities between Joker 2 and La La Land is that, in case you didn’t know, both movies are musicals, so in the trailer, many scenes give us a Broadway-style feel. Another curious thing is that the teaser for the second part of Joker gave us beautiful scenes, for example, one in which Arthur Fleck and Dr. Harleen Quinzel start dancing on the rooftop under blue lighting that completely reminded us of that scene where Sebastian and Mia romantically dance under a starry sky.
Moreover, some other similarities include the fact that Arthur Fleck and Sebastian both play the piano and sing, some overhead lighting shots on the characters, and even a scene where Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga are sitting in complicity just like Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling appear in a shot from La La Land.
When Is Joker 2 Coming Out?
Joker 2: Folie a Deux will hit theaters before the end of 2024, as it was confirmed that the film will be released on October 4th. We’ll leave you the trailer so you can start revving up.
