In the midst of James Gunn's efforts to overhaul the DCU cinematic universe, the film Joker: Folie à Deux (Joker 2) will still have its own universe by featuring a new version of Harley Quinn , played by Lady Gaga .
In an interview clip with Access Hollywood, the Bad Romance singer revealed that she is playing her own version of the character, which will be very different from what we have seen before. " My version of Harley is mine, and very authentic to the film and the characters.
I don't want to just spoil this film. I think it's better if you watch it live in the cinema ," said Lady Gaga, quoted on Monday May 27, 2024. " This film has everything from the music, to the dancing, to the incredible acting. I'm thrilled to be working with Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips.
All I can say, I've never done something like I did in this film before, so all in all will be completely new and very exciting ," she continued. Harley Quinn first appeared in the TV series Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, precisely in the 22nd episode entitled Joker's Favor .
She was originally known as Harleen Frances Quinzel, a doctor at Arkham Asylum. Harleen takes care of Batman's archenemy and ends up falling in love with him. This sequel will show the beginning of the love story of Harley Quinn and the Joker, which later became one of the most toxic love stories in history.
The story will begin after the events of the first film, where the character Arthur Fleck, played by Joaquin Phoenix, will be in a mental hospital after causing chaos in Gotham City. In this film, Zazie Beetz plays the character Sophie Dumond and Leigh Gill plays Gary.
They will be joined by Sharon Washington, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, Steve Coogan, Ken Leung, and Harry Lawtey. Todd Phillips was appointed as director and wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver.
Joker: Folie à Deux is described as a jukebox musical that will feature many covers of popular songs, as well as several original songs written especially for the film. Joker: Folie à Deux or Joker 2 will be released in theaters on October 4 and is the only DC and Warner Bros. film. Pictures released this year.
