Lady Gaga to play Harley Quinn in 'Joker' sequel
Lady Gaga in the sequel to the movie "Joker" is the news that exploded in the world media today.
The first news was reported by the 'Hollywood Reporter', and then by other world media. It is an early phase of negotiations, but when it comes to a world star like Lady Gaga and a movie like "Joker" there are no coincidences.
However, the details of her character in the sequel to the "Joker" are kept secret. It is assumed that she could play Quinn. The Joker is known for his violent relationship with Harley Quinn, his psychiatrist at a mental institution known as Arkam Asylum, who falls in love with him and becomes his assistant and partner in crime. Also, there was information that the sequel to "Joker" could be recorded in the form of a musical.

Considering that the producer of "The Joker" is also the producer of the movie "The Star is Born", in which Lady Gaga excelled, this scenario seems quite certain. Also, Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga's partner in "The Star is Born" was one of the producers of "The Joker".
“Turning "Joker 2" into a musical would be another brave move by director Todd Phillips” - Variety magazine estimates. Last week, director Todd Phillips announced the sequel to "The Joker“, which has the working title “Joker: Folie a Deux.” The title refers to a medical term for an identical or similar mental disorder that affects two or more people, usually members of the same family. Todd Phillips posted a photo of Joaquin Phoenix reading the script on the Internet.
Recall, the first film was released in 2019 as an independent production independent of the Batman films. This origin story follows Arthur Fleck, a lone clown in Gotham City who is brought to the brink as he goes through a transformation into the Joker. The film was heavily influenced by films such as "Taxi Driver" and "The King of Comedy", both directed by Martin Scorsese. Although there were no plans to continue the sequel, Warner Bros. allegedly hired Phillips to write the sequel, and he said he needed time to come up with ideas for the second chapter. Phoenix himself stated that he does not know about any plans for the second part, but that there are other stories that could be told about this character.
