The highly-anticipated sequel to Joker will be releasing this Friday in cinemas and fans can't wait to watch it. Joaquin Phoenix will be reprising his role as Joker in Folie à Deux and this time around, he'll be joined by Lady Gaga who will be playing Harley Quinn.

Since the trailer was released, fans have been sharing their excitement for the film and have taken to YouTube to express their thoughts. One excited fan penned: "This is how a trailer should be. Studios take note. They didn't show the whole damn movie in a trailer and it was still great!"

Another movie-enthusiast wrote: "I think Joaquin Phoenix could make history in winning winning his second Oscar for playing the exact same role. That would be epic!" Somebody else gushed: "This is how you cut a trailer. Had me hyped without knowing what happens. Absolutely stoked for this."

Yet another commented: "The fact that they gave it a real title and not just “Joker 2” and that they put so much thought into the trailers…I have faith that this could be a really good sequel."

A fifth said: "As someone who wasn't a fan when they announced this movie as a musical, this trailer really sells why this works.

"They are two crazy people who just bust out into songs to describe the situation. It fits their characters really well."

While a sixth added: "Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga are going to give one of the best acting duo of the year. So happy to see them in a movie together."
