Joker 2 will be the first film created under the DC Black Label, a division of DC Studios dedicated to darker and more experimental stories inspired by the DC Black Label comics imprint.

After Phillips and Phoenix agreed to return for the sequel, production on Joker 2 began in December 2022. The production wrapped in April 2023 in Los Angeles, New York, and Cedar Grove, New Jersey.

Phillips confirmed the finish of production on Instagram, where he uploaded photos of Phoenix and Gaga and congratulated the cast and crew. He also disclosed the film’s official title, Joker: Folie à Deux, which translates to “shared madness” in French and refers to a psychiatric illness in which two people suffer the same delusions.
