Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) brings Joaquin Phoenix back as Arthur Fleck and pairs him with Lady Gaga as Harleen "Lee" Quinzel. Todd Phillips directed and co-wrote the sequel with Scott Silver. Because most of the story plays out inside Arkham State Hospital and a Gotham City courtroom, the cast divides into three clear groups: returning faces from the 2019 film, new Arkham staff and inmates, and Gotham legal and media figures.

Main Cast and Characters

  • Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, also called Joker, now an inmate awaiting trial.
  • Lady Gaga as Harleen "Lee" Quinzel, a fellow patient who pulls Arthur toward music and fantasy.
  • Brendan Gleeson as Jackie Sullivan, a hardened Arkham guard.
  • Catherine Keener as Maryanne Stewart, Arthur's defense attorney.
  • Zazie Beetz as Sophie Dumond, the neighbor from the first film, seen in a limited role.
  • Steve Coogan as Paddy Meyers, a television interviewer.
  • Harry Lawtey as Harvey Dent, the district attorney building the case against Arthur.
  • Leigh Gill as Gary Puddles, Arthur's former coworker and a trial witness.
  • Ken Leung as Dr. Victor Liu, an Arkham physician.
  • Jacob Lofland as Ricky Meline, a young inmate who idolizes Arthur.
  • Sharon Washington as Debra Kane, Arthur's former social worker.
  • Bill Smitrovich as Judge Herman Rothwax, who presides over the trial.

Returning Characters

Phoenix, Beetz, Gill, and Washington reprise roles from the 2019 movie. Their scenes anchor the sequel to the original timeline, even when Arthur's memory distorts what actually happened. Gary Puddles matters most here because his testimony forces Arthur to face the real damage left behind in the first film.

New Characters in the Sequel

Gaga's Lee Quinzel is the biggest addition. She is a version of Harley Quinn built for this story rather than a copy of the comic book character. Gleeson's Jackie Sullivan, Keener's Maryanne Stewart, Lawtey's Harvey Dent, and Leung's Dr. Liu carry the Arkham and courtroom threads. Tim Dillon appears as an Arkham guard in a small supporting part.

How to Keep the Cast Straight

  1. Start with Arthur Fleck, since every other character reacts to him or defines his choices.
  2. Treat Lee Quinzel as her own character named Lee, not as the classic Harley Quinn.
  3. Group the Arkham staff together: Sullivan, Dr. Liu, and the guards.
  4. Group the outsiders together: Stewart, Dent, Rothwax, and Meyers.
  5. Read the musical numbers as shared fantasy between Arthur and Lee, not as events in the room.
