Lady Gaga likely to play Harley Quinn in ‘Joker 2’

Lady Gaga might get the role of Harley Quinn in Joker 2 but all details are kept under wraps for now. Joaquin Phoenix might reprise his role as Joker as the director Todd Phillips confirms the sequel, reports Outlook.

Oscar-winner Lady Gaga is allegedly in early talks to play Harley Quinn in ‘Joker: Folie a Deux,’ a musical sequel to director Todd Phillips’ 2019 movie ‘Joker.’

In an Instagram post last week, the director announced the sequel to ‘Joker,’ as well as revealing that Joaquin Phoenix will reprise his role as the Joker. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the sequel will be a musical.

Gaga’s role is yet to be announced, but Joker is notorious for his on-again, off-again abusive relationship with Harley Quinn, his Arkham Asylum psychiatrist who falls in love with him and becomes his crime accomplice. It’s also unknown whether or not Gaga will contribute any songs to the endeavor.

When the director teased the script of ‘Joker: Folie a Deux,’ written by him and Scott Silver, rumors were that Harley Quinn would be a part of the follow-up. ‘Folie a Deux’ refers to a shared delusional disorder, and Quinn, was first introduced for ‘Batman: The Animated Series’, has been Joker’s only real partner.
