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.
