It was enough for Joker director Todd Phillips to reveal last week that he already wrote the script for the sequel to the 2019 film to bring out some crazy updates on the project.
Since the title “Joker – Folie à Deux” was revealed, referring to a mental disorder that affects two or more individuals at the same time, speculation about Harley Quinn’s participation in the plot has been constant. Now, The Hollywood Reporter claims that none other than Lady Gaga (“Gucci House”) has opened talks with Warner Bros. to play a new incarnation of the character.
It is worth mentioning that Todd Phillips was one of the producers of “A Star Is Born” (2018), the first film starring Lady Gaga.
It goes without saying that the Harley Quinn in the film will have no connection with the version played by Margot Robbie in the DCEU (DC Comics Extended Universe) films. The production would show the character as an Arkham Asylum psychiatrist who falls in love with the Joker and becomes his accomplice – in short, Dr. Harley Quinzel in his origin story.
Another crazy news released by THR is that the film was being developed as a musical. In addition to playing Harley Quinn, Lady Gaga has to sing in front of the cameras if she signs the contract.
