Connor Storrie emerges as the strongest element of Joker: Folie à Deux

Collider says Connor Storrie, now a breakout star on Crave's Heated Rivalry, is the best part of Todd Phillips' Joker: Folie à Deux, which the piece calls "probably the worst and most disappointing movie of 2024."

The article notes Heated Rivalry debuted in late November and turned its two leads, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, into rising stars. Storrie previously had a small but crucial role in Joker: Folie à Deux as an unnamed Arkham inmate who watches Arthur Fleck, does not speak until the final scene, then delivers a joke before stabbing Arthur and carving a Glasgow smile; the piece praises Storrie's intense, expressive presence and says he steals the ending despite limited screentime.

The write-up points out the film leaves its final questions open and does not answer who the “real” Joker is, and it mentions practical details—Joker: Folie à Deux was released on October 4, 2024, runs 138 minutes, and is directed by Todd Phillips—and that Storrie's rising fame will likely bring more attention to his brief but pivotal performance. The article calls any quiet talk of a third Joker movie with Storrie and Lady Gaga intriguing but improbable.
