Joker 2 Composer Teases The Musical Sequel: 'Sound [Is] So Incredibly Connected To That Character'

Summary Joker: Folie à Deux composer Hildur Guðnadóttir discusses how establishing the sound of the world in the first Joker movie helped them lay the groundwork for the sequel. Joaquin Phoenix will return as Arthur Fleck, aka the Joker, in the sequel, living in Arkham in the aftermath of his numerous crimes, with Lady Gaga joining as Hareen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn. While details of the movie have been kept under wraps, it has been revealed that this will be a musical.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for A Haunting In Venice, Guðnadóttir also teases her work on the upcoming Joker: Folie à Deux. She explains how the sound of this world was established in Joker, which gives her a jumping-off point for the sequel. She breaks down how the sound of this world is an integral part of the Joker character, and knowing that helped them when working on new aspects of the world like the songs in Joker: Folie à Deux.

Hildur Guðnadóttir: Well, I think that the process was the big difference for me in the process is that we already have the sound world of the first film, we set it in the first film. I think the sound world that is in that film is so incredibly connected to that character and it's such a big part of that of the whole film. So I think the big difference is that we basically knew his sound going into this film and then so it made the process a little bit different.

How Joker 2 Can Build From The First Movie's Score Although the musical element could seem like a drastic shift from the gritty tone of the first movie, that may not be the case. Foil a Deux is likely a reference to the shared delusional disorder and could be a hint of how the Joker and Harley Quinn are pulled together.

How the original score comes into play with the lyrical musical element could be an indicator of how Arthur and Harleen are losing themselves as well. While details about the musical element of the film are being kept close to the vest, if they are in Arthur and Harleen's heads, this could be reflected by a score pulling from the first film used in moments that reflect the real world while a more bombastic Broadway style is used in their delusion.
