It's a wrap for 'Joker: Folie a Deux'!

The acting schedule and production for 'Joker: Folie a Deux' concluded on Thursday.

Director Todd Phillips, who is known for the three-part 'The Hangover' franchise, took to social media to share two pictures of the titular stars, announcing the 'Joker' sequel's wrap.

For 'Joker: Folie a Deux', Phoenix will reprise the role of supervillain Joker from part one. Gaga, who is a new addition to the franchise, will portray the role of Harley Quinn.

Alongside pictures of singer-actress Lady Gaga and actor Joaquin Phoenix, the film-maker thanked the Hollywood stars and his entire cash for their hard work.

In the pictures shared by Phillips, Phoenix looked thoughtful as always in his Joker suit, and Gaga aced her 'Poker Face' with messy hair and smudged liner and lipstick.

Phillips also revealed that he will begin editing shortly with his team for the movie. He wrote in his caption, "That's a wrap. Thanks to these two (+the entire cast) and the BEST crew that the film industry has to offer. From top to bottom. Gonna crawl into a cave now (edit room) and put it all together."

The 52-year-old movie-maker had shared a number of pictures from the sets of the movie throughout the film's production. For the "Day 1" shot shared sometime in December last year, Phoenix's character Arthur Fleck was being shaved by a law enforcement official.

Earlier, Gaga was clicked by shutterbugs in New York City in her Harley Quinn make-up. She was being filmed in downtown Manhattan, surrounded by police. The crowd scene had junior artistes carrying signs that read "Free Joker".

From the sets of the upcoming musical thriller, a few pictures went viral on social media in which the lead stars could be seen smoking and dancing on the Bronx stairs and dressed up as their characters.

The movie was filmed at different locations across New York City for a couple of weeks. The plot details of the film are still under wraps.

Warner Bros will release 'Joker: Folie a Deux' in theatres on October 9, 2024 - five years to the day after the release of the first film.

Phillips's original 'Joker' was a commercial hit in 2019, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film in history. It won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was a major competitor at the year's Academy Awards, earning 11 nominations. Phoenix won his Oscar for best actor and Hildur Gudnadottir for best original score for 'Joker'.
