Leading up to the release of the new trailer, a countdown for it was live streamed on YouTube, featuring the same \"Joker & Harley\" set.

Another clip shared on Instagram featured a television screen in a studio of Phoenix in what appears to be a jail cell.

\"Something's changed,\" the caption on the Instagram video read.

The new trailer comes more than three months after the teaser trailer for the \"Joker\" sequel was released, featuring Phoenix and Gaga and the new adventure they embark together on in the film.

In the teaser, which is set to \"What the World Needs Now Is Love,\" the clip opens with Fleck in prison and catching a glimpse of Harley Quinn. The two meet and at one point in the teaser, Harley Quinn tells Fleck, \"Let's get out of here.\"

It then cuts to a clip of Gaga and Phoenix dancing, with more clips of the two stars and the adventure that awaits both of them in the sequel.

Todd Phillips, who directed the first \"Joker\" film, returns as the director for the sequel.

At CinemaCon in April, he addressed rumors about the film being a musical, the Associated Press reported. \"It's a movie where music is an essential element,\" he said. \"To me that doesn't veer very far from the first film.\"

Along with Phoenix and Gaga, Zazie Beetz, who appeared in the first \"Joker\" film, returns in the sequel.

\"Joker: Folie à Deux\" arrives in theaters on Oct. 4.
