Joker 2: Lady Gaga in early negotiations to play Harley Quinn #IndiaNEWS #Cinema
Los Angeles, June 14 | The Joaquin Phoenix-starrer Joker 2 a sequel to the runaway 2019 hit film will be a musical for which singer Lady Gaga is in early talks.
She will be seen portraying Harley Quinn Jokers love interest and partner in madness, in the film, reports Variety.
Speculation that Harley Quinn would appear in the movie first bubbled to the surface after Phillips posted the cover of the screenplay to Instagram on June 7.
Variety states that the subtitle for the film, Folie A Deux, refers to a shared delusional disorder, and Jokers only real companion other than Batman, anyway has been Quinn, a character first created for Batman: The Animated Series in the early 1990s.
Making Joker 2 a musical is another bold stroke by director Todd Phillips, who struck gold at the box office (with billion in worldwide grosses) and the Oscars (with 12 nominations and two wins) when he reframed the Dark Knights number one villain as a loner anti-hero. Joaquin Phoenix won best actor for his performance as Joker, aka Arthur Fleck; hes also expected to reprise his performance, though his deal is not settled yet.
According to Variety, all other details about Folie A Deux remain under wraps, so its unclear whether Gaga would also contribute any music to the project, but its a safe bet that its at least on the table.
Gaga worked with Phillips in his capacity as one of the producers of 2018s A Star Is Born, which earned Gaga an Oscar nomination for best actress a and an Oscar win for original song. That movies star and director, Bradley Cooper, was also a producer on aJoker, but its unclear what level of involvement he has on Folie A Deux.
