The first look at “Joker: Folie à deux,” a sequel to the 2019 hit movie “Joker,” is out, and Lady Gaga is set to play Harley Quinn. The director of the upcoming movie, Todd Phillips, shared a first look photo of Lady Gaga as Harley, standing next to Joaquin Phoenix, who will be playing the Clown Prince of Crime again in the movie.
Todd wrote “Happy Valentine’s Day” as the caption for the Instagram post. Fans jumped right into the comment section to show how excited they were. One fan wrote, “That picture alone deserves an Oscar.” “Seems like a healthy relationship,” wrote someone else.
One person wrote, “WE’RE ALL BREATHING TOO FAST! WHERE’S MY INHALER!!!!” Someone else wrote, “She’s coming for BL00D!!!!” Another user said, “Mother Gaga and Father Joaquin.” Last, many of them wrote “We need a trailer!!! “, which is what we all want. Bryan Callen, an American actor, saw a small cameo in Joker (2019) and wrote, “I heard they’re putting my scene from the first one in this one.”
At the moment, the movie is set to come out on October 4, 2023. This is the second time Lady Gaga would work with Todd, who was a producer on her movie “A Star Is Born.” The plot hasn’t been revealed yet, but Phoenix won an Oscar for the first big hit, so the much-anticipated sequel looks like it will be good.
The 2019 movie “Joker,” which was directed by Todd Phillips and starred Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, and others, was released. The movie was written by Phillips and Scott Sliver, who also wrote Joker 2. The movie made more than $1 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history. “Joker” won a lot of awards, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and two Oscars.
Most of the details about Joker 2 have been kept secret, so let’s look at the movie from the time period where the “Joker” franchise takes place. In the sequel, Lady Gaga’s Harley will have a lot less to do with “fantasy” than Margot Robbie’s version did in the DCEU. Just so you know, this will be a version of Harley, who has never been a part of the Suicide Squad.
In the new still, Gaga can be seen holding Phoenix’s face while he smiles at her. And don’t forget that both of them have blood on their faces. Even though Batman won’t be in the movie, it will be mostly about Harley and Joker’s story, especially how they meet. But fans would not be left thirsty for action, that’s for sure! So, yes, this new way of looking at things has a lot to offer.
