Todd Phillips is done Joker-ing around. At least from a production point of view: the director celebrated the wrap of filming on sequel Joker: Folie À Deux with an Instagram post featuring stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.

With Phillips now off to the edit "cave" (as he describes it), speculation can really start to bubble up as to what this sequel to the Oscar-winning original is actually about.

We do know that it'll be set partly in Arkham Asylum (where Phoenix's wannabe comedian-turned-psychopathic clown figure ended up at the close of the original) and that it'll feature a big musical element. Oh, and we're long past the point where anything is debating whether Gaga's playing Harley Quinn (traditionally the Joker's great love/victim) – we're all more intrigued to lean what spin Phillips has put on her and their dynamic.

With a script from the director and co-writer Scott Silver, the cast for this one includes Zazie Beetz (back as Sophie Dumond from the first film), Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener and Jacob Lofland.

Joker: Folie À Deux will be in cinemas on 4 October next year.
