Oscar-Winning DC Movie Sequel Arrives on Prime Video

Joker: Folie à Deux, the highly anticipated sequel to the Academy Award-winning film Joker, is set to arrive on Prime Video on December 16, 2025. While the sequel has sparked discussions among fans, its theatrical run did not meet expectations. Despite a hefty budget of nearly $200 million, it managed to earn only $207.5 million worldwide, marking it as a box office disappointment.

Release and Reception

Directed by Todd Phillips, Joker: Folie à Deux was released in theaters on October 4, 2025. The film features Joaquin Phoenix reprising his Oscar-winning role, alongside Lady Gaga. However, critics largely criticized the sequel, resulting in seven nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards, of which it won two.

Streaming Availability

Many fans opted to skip the theatrical release due to negative reviews. Instead, they turned to HBO Max, where the film premiered on December 13, 2024. Now, those without an HBO Max subscription will have the opportunity to view the film on Prime Video.

Storyline Overview

Joker: Folie à Deux attempts to innovate within the comic book genre by incorporating musical elements. The film’s official synopsis reveals a gripping narrative: “Struggling with his dual identity, failed comedian Arthur Fleck stumbles upon true love while incarcerated at Arkham State Hospital. Awaiting trial for the murder of five people, Fleck soon discovers the music that’s always been inside him.”
