Just the other day, the sequel to the film “Joker” received a working title and script , and now Hollywood sources have reported some more interesting news about the project. Several media outlets at once claim that the popular singer Lady Gaga, who claims to be Harley Quinn, wants to play in Joker 2. At the same time, the film itself will change its tone and will not be a gloomy drama with a psychopathic tinge, but … a musical.
Based on this information, the question arises – were the authors originally going to shoot a musical and therefore selected a “singing actress”? Or having the opportunity to involve Lady Gaga in the picture, the bosses of Warner Bros. decided to use all the talents of the singer and actress to the maximum? At the moment, there is no official confirmation of this information, but this is quite typical for the industry, where negotiations on conditions and fees are not commented on until the signing of the contract.
By the way, in favor of the version that the main theme of the new film will be a painful relationship is its title – “Folie à deux” / “Madness for Two”. Well, as we remember from the comics, it is Harley Quinn (aka Harleen Quinzel – a psychiatrist from the Arkham Asylum for the criminally insane) who is the main love interest of the Joker.
Note that in recent years, Lady Gaga has been making active attempts to conquer Hollywood – in 2018 she starred in the drama A Star Is Born (by the way, one of the producers was the director of Joker Todd Phillips), in 2021 – in the film The House of Gucci , and this year the action movie Faster than a Bullet with her participation should be released.
