Joker 2 is reportedly a musical with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn (GamesRadar+)

Gaga's version of Harley Quinn would be different to Margot Robbie's incarnation of the character, just as Phoenix's character isn't the same as Barry Keoghan's ...

"If you don't want Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in Joker 2: The Musical, you don't want cinema, and you can get out of my LIFE," is this person's thoughts (opens in new tab). Plus, Phillips was a producer on A Star is Born, another musical starring Gaga. "The image of Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga singing while terrorizing Gotham in Joker 2 got me howling what the fuck is going on," says someone else (opens in new tab).

The live action Harley Quinn role has most recently been played by Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and The Suicide Squad. In 2021, comic book ...

The claim that the film will be a musical is even more surprising than Gaga joining the cast. Phillips previously said that he would not incorporate Robert Pattinson’s Batman character into the Joker films, so it seems unlikely that there will be any connection to other existing DC Comics movies. The prospect of casting Gaga is an intriguing one.

Nonetheless, Joker 2 is a sequel, and DC will never be the same. Last week, Phillips revealed on social media the title of the new project — Joker: Folie à deux — the title referencing a medical term for an identical or similar mental disorder that affects two or more individuals, usually members of the same family. — boobenj (@thegrimebag)June 14, 2022 — Gr3qfe (@TGreafe)June 14, 2022 — Joe (@hzjoe03)June 14, 2022 — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm)June 14, 2022

A 'Joker 2' musical would actually be great — here's why (Inverse)

Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn as Marilyn Monroe in Birds of Prey. Warner Bros. After Phillips used Batman's most famous enemy to create a tribute to the works ...

Chicago took a unique approach to its musical numbers by showing the characters in a nightclub that existed entirely in their collective imaginations. Considering the star power Lady Gaga holds especially, within the music movie genre, whatever musical numbers Joker 2 does feature won’t merely be show tunes. In Birds of Prey, Harley Quinn has a hallucination that directly references the Marilyn Monroe “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” scene in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The character of the Joker has always been about delusion, fantasy, and theatricality. So with a sequel, it only makes sense to lean into the absurd qualities of the original even more. This is a huge shock for fans of the original Joker, which took a firm Taxi-Driver-meets-King-of-Comedy Scorsese tribute.

While the role Gaga would play is being kept under wraps by Warner Brothers, THR says it would in fact be a version of fan-favorite character Harley Quinn. Most ...

That being said, don’t expect a happy-go-lucky musical like La La Land or In the Heights. No one ever said a musical can’t go very dark and be a hard R like the original Joker. This development might lead to some very creative and exciting avenues that could expand on the morbid real-world tone of the first film in some refreshingly horrific ways. Both Joker and Harley sing multiple times throughout The Animated Series and in Harley’s debut episode of Batman: The Animated Series, the two love birds shared a duet while they terrorized Gotham. She was famously a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum and Joker was one of her patients before she maddeningly fell in love with the psychopathic clown. With both A Star is Born and House of Gucci Gaga has proven that she is an incredibly talented actress. The extremely abusive relationship that Harley and Joker have shared over the last 30 years has given comic book fans some of the best stories in the genre. As reported exclusively by The Hollywood Reporter, Lady Gaga is in early talks to star in Joker 2.

That said, we assume Lady Gaga will be heavily involved in the singing. Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn will be unconnected to Margot Robbie’s character in the Warner Bros. DCEU movies. Last week, Todd Phillips surprised us all with an Instagram post that seemingly confirmed a sequel to Joker was in the works.
