Hollywood star Joaquin Phoenix's highly-anticipated release, Joker: Folie Deux, has received a 'R' rating for violence, some sexuality and nudity, said Motion Picture Association (MPA).
“Rated R for some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity,” its statement read regarding Joker 2's rating.
The film is a sequel to Todd Phillips directorial Joker, which not only won critical acclaim (Phoenix had won an Oscar for his performance in the film), but also made history as the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, by collecting $788.1 million globally.
Phoenix will reprise his role as the disturbed and vengeful Arther Fleck in Folie Deux. Phoenix is paired alongside Lady Gaya, who will be seen portraying Harley Quinn in the movie. Apart from the lead pair, the film also stars Catherine Keener, Brendan Gleeson, and Zazie Beetz in pivotal roles.
Lady Gaga recently shared the first poster of the film with a caption that read, “The world is a stage.” In the poster, Joker and Quinn are seen striking a dance pose.
The first trailer of the film will be out on April 9.
