We might have yet another movie star on board for the Joker sequel! It seems like the singing sensation and actress Lady Gaga might be tapped down to play the iconic character of Harley Queen in the Joker 2, which is hinted to be a Musical. The House of Cards actress is in talks to star alongside Joaquin Phoenix!
As per reports, director Todd Phillips has co-written a sequel to his massively successful 2019 DC hit, along with Scott Silver. Lady Gaga’s version will be set in a different DC universe which is going to be a musical one! No additional details or confirmation has been given about it yet.
Joker 2 Is Already In The Works!
Todd Phillips has already announced Joker: Folie à Deux as he recently shared the cover of its script, which is written by him and his Joker co-writer Scott Silver. The director also included a photo of lead star Phoenix reading the script. This made fans hopeful about the actor’s return to the lad role after delivering an Oscar-winning performance in the first movie. As the French term translates to “shared madness,” several fans have taken to social media to talk about it.
Damn. So, it’s *actually* happening. Todd Phillips confirms the sequel for the billion dollar grossing DC event film JOKER.
Folie à deux is a shared psychosis/rare delusional disorder shared by two people with close emotional ties.

The role of Joker’s psychiatrist has earlier been played by Margot Robbie in 2016’s Suicide Squad, and then later reprised the role in 2020’s Birds of Prey and again in 2021’s The Suicide Squad. However, Folie à Deux is significant as it will mark the first time the character appears in Todd Phillips’ Joker universe. Lady Gaga might just be the best choice for the role.
The 2019 Joker went on to become both a critical and commercial success as it garnered as many as 11 Oscar nominations and a whopping $1 billion in revenue! As per sources, the Rain On Me hitmaker is more and more motivated to do more film work, as she is hopeful about getting the Oscar nomination that escaped her this year! With rumors of the Joker 2 being a musical already doing the rounds, this would be yet another challenging role for the star who has earlier stunned fans with her meticulous acting.
