Fans are freaking out after spotting Steve Coogan in the Joker 2 trailer

Steve Coogan is in the trailer for Joker 2 and we don't know how to feel about it

Steve Coogan is in the trailer for Joker 2 and honestly, I don’t know how to feel about it.

That is a feeling shared with fans who have spotted the British star in a quick few frames of the newly released trailer, where he appears to be interview Phoenix’s Joker.

The Alan Partridge star has swapped British TV for the stars of Hollywood – as he is now confirmed to be appearing in Joker: Folie à Deux (or just Joker 2 as we’re all probably going to call it anyways).

But we’re all asking the same question, who will he be playing?

The trailer shows Joker continue his infamy from the first film alongside Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, and according to fans online – it looks like Coogan is set to play a character akin to De Niro’s role in the first.

Posting on Reddit, one commenter responded to someone asking if that was Coogan, saying: “Yes. It seems like he’ll be in a similar role to what Robert De Niro had in the first movie.”

It seems likely, with Coogan's character questioning Joker, just as De Niro’s did in 2019's Joker.

What most people seem to be saying about the situation though: ‘Wait is he seriously in this?’

One post on X said: “I actually laughed out loud when Steve Coogan appeared in the joker trailer."

Another agreed, saying: “The HOWL I emitted when STEVE COOGAN appeared.”

Some however, theorised this meant an unlikely connection between the crown prince of madness and… honestly a very similar character.

They posted: “Steve Coogan is in this, so this is now part of the Alan Partridge Extended Universe.”

One poster on the subreddit r/movies said: “I saw Steve Coogan and now I want a full film of Alan Partridge trying to get an interview with the Joker, or better yet just making a documentary on Gotham City”

If this is the case (it definitely isn’t) we can only imagine the chaos that will occur.

Steve Coogan is not the only aspect of the trailer causing fans to lose it however, with everyone agreeing it looks f**king awesome.

Further, one Joker fan posted on X saying: “This just looks absolutely f**king phenomenal. Will definitely be one of the biggest movie phenomenon of the year.”

Well, after seeing that trailer, we couldn’t agree more!

Joker: Folie à Deux will release in cinemas on October 4.
