Joaquin Phoenix Walks New York City Sidewalks in Character While Filming 'Joker' Sequel

Joker: Folie à Deux is scheduled to hit theaters in October 2024

Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is back on the streets of New York City.

On Wednesday, Phoenix, 48, was spotted filming scenes for the upcoming movie Joker: Folie à Deux in the Bronx, where he appeared on a sidewalk wearing a gray suit and faded makeup for his character.

Phoenix, who won an Oscar for his performance as Arthur Fleck, aka the Joker, in the 2019 film Joker, was previously spotted wearing a similar costume as he filmed scenes in downtown Los Angeles on March 4.

In one set of photos released at that time, the actor was captured running down the street — as was another man, looking the full Joker part in a red-and-yellow suit, full face of clown makeup and green hair.

Lady Gaga costars in the Joker sequel as Harley Quinn; she was spotted on set in New York last weekend in full costume and makeup as she filmed a sequence among hundreds of extras at Manhattan's City Hall.
