We have waited a long time since it was first announced, but we finally have a photo of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn! Kind of. We can see one side of her face in the photo, but it counts. It’s proof that it’s happening and getting somewhere.
Posted on Instagram by director Todd Phillips for Valentine’s Day, the photo shows Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck/Joker. Wearing his iconic clown makeup with lipstick smeared across their faces, the two look very happy at that moment. We don’t have any plot details just yet, so we don’t know if we’re seeing Dr. Harleen Quinzel, which would fit with her known origin story, or Harley Quinn.
It’s been rumored that Joker: Folie à Deux will be a musical, which is wildly different from Joker. Fans have differing opinions on this choice, however, it’s not overly surprising since Joker enjoyed music and dancing for a good portion of the first movie and also that a very famous musician is playing his partner in crime. Literally. It’s also very easy to imagine the Clown Prince and Princess performing horrendous acts while singing happily and dreamily.
Lady Gaga will be joined by Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter), Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich), Jacob Lofland (Maze Runner), and Harry Lawtey (Industry). Zazie Beetz will also be reprising her role as Sophie, Joker’s love interest in the original movie.
Joker: Folie à Deux is set to release on October 4, 2024, five years exactly since the first movie was released. We can’t wait to see how Joker 2 will mess with our minds this time.
