Watch Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux's First Trailer. The first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux, the Joker sequel starring Lady Gaga opposite Joaquin Phoenix, arrived today. The clip shows Phoenix's Joker and Gaga's Harley Quinn meeting in Gotham City's Arkham Asylum.
Lady Gaga is set to star opposite Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux, Todd Phillips' musical follow-up to his 2019 DC film. The singer joins the sequel as Harley Quinn, and an audio preview of the star as the character has been unveiled.
Margot Robbie is ready for Lady Gaga to take over the role of Harley Quinn. The Barbie star, 33, shared her excitement for the 37-year-old performer to step into the role in the upcoming sequel Joker: Folie á Deux during Variety and Entertainment Tonight's Golden Globe 2024 Awards digital pre-show.
Mad Love introduces Harley Quinn as a former psychologist named Harleen Quinzel who fell in love with the Joker during her internship at Gotham City's Arkham Asylum and details her transformation into the Joker's villainous accomplice Harley Quinn, as well as the Joker's lack of respect for Harley.
Birds Of Prey 2 Was Never Put Into Development At DC
This was likely due to a combination of factors. Firstly, the first film's box office returns were not very high, with the movie not being considered a commercial success overall.
A "Joker" sequel titled "Joker: Folie à Deux" is set for release on October 4. The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck and Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. The film is a musical and will reportedly include at least 15 new versions of well-known songs.
The Dark Knight did not necessarily set up Harley Quinn. However, Heath Ledger's Joker portrayal raised the question of what would a realistic Harley Quinn be like. Christopher Nolan preferred not to revisit the Joker in any form following Ledger's death in 2008.
Arkham Asylum scenes were filmed at the abandoned Essex County Isolation Hospital in New Jersey. In April 2023, filming took place at the "Joker Stairs", the stairway on West 167th Street in the Bronx featured prominently in the first film. Filming officially wrapped on April 5, 2023.
Like most breakups, this one didn't happen overnight. During the “Death of the Family” storyline, Harley grew alarmed at just how much the Joker had changed and how nothing was fun anymore. The final straw for her was when he infected her precious hyenas with rabies in 2012's Suicide Squad #15.
The Joker gradually seduces Quinzel and gets her to fall madly in love with him. He later persuades her to release him, subjecting her to shock therapy in retaliation for her using it on him, and manipulating her into jumping into a vat of the same chemicals that disfigured him to prove her love for him.
The three-issue storyline was written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Jason Fabok and Brad Anderson, began in August and concluded in October 2020. In Three Jokers, Batman, Batgirl and Red Hood follow a lead on the Joker, who appears to have been three different men all along.
The previous Joker movie, released in 2019, is slapped with an R rating due to its violent content. But Folie a Deux, the upcoming movie, contains more “violence, language throughout, some sexuality and brief full nudity,” according to the report.
Ultimately, Birds of Prey offers an important victory, unveiling the first canonically queer heroines of the DCEU movies (though we see you suggested sapphic Wonder Woman romances). However, it's a minor victory that makes this film's queer pride feel more like a whisper than a roar.
“Birds of Prey” brought in a disappointing box office this weekend, despite strong reviews. The poor showing is mostly because of its adults-only “R” rating and audiences' unfamiliarity with the film's heroes. But the lengthy and perplexing title probably didn't help the film's totals.
