And that's exactly the case for Joker 2, with Oscar-nominee and Grammy-winner Lady Gaga taking on the iconic role of the Joker's insane love interest. This will be a different version of Harley Quinn than fans are used to, as she'll be portrayed as a patient at Arkham Asylum rather than as a doctor that falls for the Joker while treating him.
Gaga is believed to be playing DC mainstay Harley Quinn in the sequel to Joker, the 2019 film that grossed $1 billion and earned star Joaquin Phoenix a best actor Oscar. View this post on
Kaley Cuoco voices the psychiatrist-turned-henchwoman in HBO Max’s animated series “Harley Quinn.” “Joker,” however, takes place in a separate universe from the recent slate of DC superhero films, so the musical follow-up won’t step on any toes should Robbie choose to reprise the role. Joker: Folie à Deux’s set pictures reveal a first look at Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn costume, and it is quite different from recent Harley Quinn adaptations. Though Joaquin Phoenix’s return as the Joker in Joker 2 was already enough to justify the sequel, the addition of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn makes Folie à Deux even more exciting.
