Insiders told the outlet that Joker: Folie à Deux will include a minimum of 15 renditions of “very well-known” songs – one of which is reportedly “That’s Entertainment” from the 1953 musical The Band Wagon.

The film was described as “mostly a jukebox musical,” meaning that the majority Joker 2‘s songs are covers of known classics rather than tracks originally written for the movie.

However, one insider noted that Joker: Folie à Deux‘s final cut may incorporate one or two original songs.

It is not known who will write or perform each musical number.

While Lady Gaga is an established pop star, Joaquin last sang onscreen in his 2005 Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line.

Joker: Folie à Deux will open in theaters on October 4, 2024.
