This isn’t a joke: Girl Gaga is in talks to affix Joker 2.
As Harley Quinn.
Based on 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 transferring 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 similar 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 placing 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 isn’t set in the identical DC Comics universe as these movies; the primary film, starring Joaquin Phoenix because the Joker, was set prior to now, and confirmed a person named Arthur Fleck, who slowly goes man and adopts the id of the Joker and evokes the populace of Gotham Metropolis in darkish and horrifying methods.
Even if the film didn’t characteristic Batman (no less than not an grownup Batman; a younger Bruce Wayne had a small cameo function), Joker was a staggering hit for Warner Bros., grossing $1.07 billion worldwide. Phoenix received the Oscar for Greatest Actor for his efficiency, and has mentioned repeatedly that he could be inquisitive about reprising the function. However reverse Girl Gaga in a musical? I don’t assume anybody noticed that coming.
