Joker 2 Gets R Rating, Features Brief Full Nudity

Like the 2019 film, this October’s Joker: Folie a Deux will be rated R. The Motion Picture Association has listed a rating for the highly anticipated sequel and also gave some clues about why it received that rating.

Joker: Folie a Deux will have “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity,” the ratings board said, as reported by Variety.

For comparison, the earlier film was rated R for “strong bloody violence, disturbing behavior, language, and brief sexual images.”

Folie a Deux, which means a “delusion or mental illness shared by two people in close association,” stars Joaquin Phoenix as Joker, with Lady Gaga joining the cast as Harley Quinn. Phoenix won the Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck/Joker in the first movie.

Zazie Beetz also returns from the 2019 movie, with Oscar-nominated actors Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener joining the cast.
