Movie Musicals — Yes, Including the ‘Joker’ Sequel — You Could Fall for

There’s just something about a good movie musical.

The music gets your toes tapping, the story sweeps you away, and the characters stay with you long after the credits roll. In recent years, we’ve seen a resurgence of movie musicals, from big-budget blockbusters like La La Land to smaller, more intimate films like Sing Street.

And now, it seems, even the darkest of comic book movies is getting in on the act. Joker: Folie à Deux, the upcoming sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 film Joker, is reportedly going to be a musical.

This is a bold move for a film that was so dark and disturbing.

But it’s also a reminder that musicals can be used to tell any kind of story, from the lightest to the darkest.
