The first trailer for the much-anticipated Joker: Folie à Deux dropped recently, and let's just say, it’s the tease we didn’t know we needed. For those of us who were spellbound by Joaquin Phoenix's chilling portrayal of Arthur Fleck in the first film, this follow-up, set for an October 4 release, promises to delve even deeper into the twisted mind of Gotham's infamous clown and his Puddin’-lovin’ counterpart. And now, the stakes are higher, the madness is more palpable – after all, Folie à Deux does translate to “Madness of Two”.

The addition of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn has had die-hard fans in heated discourse since the news hit that she’s taking over the character. The film is set to be a musical with Gaga at the helm. The trailer masterfully teases the story without giving too much away. It picks up right after the explosive finale of the first film, with Arthur’s chilling live TV execution of a talk show host still fresh in our minds. We see him riding in a police vehicle, with snippets of his trial littered throughout the trailer. The final shot of the trailer, with lipstick smeared on a glass, is the cherry on top – the perfect tease.
