This isn’t a joke: Girl Gaga is in talks to hitch Joker 2.
As Harley Quinn.
In response to The Hollywood Reporter, Gaga “would play Harley Quinn” if she finalizes a deal to make the movie — which is additionally apparently a musical.
Final week, Joker director Todd Phillips confirmed the long-rumored mission was shifting ahead with an Instagram put up of the script for the movie, which was titled Joker: Folie à Deux, a reference to a medical situation the place “an an identical or comparable psychological dysfunction that impacts two or extra people, often members of the identical household.” If the Joker is concerned, the one character canonically he’d share a psychological dysfunction with could be Harley Quinn.
THR writes that “it’s unclear whether or not Phillips and firm are utilizing different DC characters or hanging on their very own, as they did in lots of situations with their first film.”
The DC Prolonged Universe already has its personal Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie, who has performed the Joker’s off-and-on girlfriend in Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad. However Joker is just not set in the identical DC Comics universe as these movies; the primary film, starring Joaquin Phoenix because the Joker, was set up to now, and confirmed a person named Arthur Fleck, who slowly goes man and adopts the id of the Joker and conjures up the populace of Gotham Metropolis in darkish and horrifying methods.
Even though the film didn’t characteristic Batman (a minimum of not an grownup Batman; a younger Bruce Wayne had a small cameo position), Joker was a staggering hit for Warner Bros., grossing $1.07 billion worldwide. Phoenix received the Oscar for Finest Actor for his efficiency, and has mentioned repeatedly that he could be fascinated by reprising the position. However reverse Girl Gaga in a musical? I don’t suppose anybody noticed that coming.
