Fans are absolutely losing it over a teaser image that Todd Phillips posted on Instagram.
The Joker director cleverly posted the first glimpse of Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix as Harley Quinn and the Joker, respectively, in the upcoming sequel Joker: Folie à Deux.
He captioned the image, which he posted on Tuesday:
"Happy Valentine's Day."
Gaga later posted the same image to her own Instagram with the caption:
"Folie à Deux 🃏"
Gaga's post already has more than 2.5 million likes.
As you can imagine, fans are obsessed.

Gaga has only starred in two other major motion pictures - A Star Is Born and House of Gucci. Phoenix, meanwhile, starred in Phillips' 2019 Joker and received an Oscar for his remarkable performance.
Gaga's role as Harley Quinn in the musical sequel was revealed in August.
Margot Robbie, who previously played Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad movies, told MTV News that she was delighted by the casting choice.
"It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning, all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way like Macbeth or Batman always gets passed from great actor to great actor."
"It's such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. I think she'll do something incredible with it."
We'll have to wait until October 29, 2024 to find out!
