Joker 2: Folie à Deux isn’t out until October 2024, which is a bloody age away, but at least we now have an idea of what Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga might look like on screen together, after the latter shared this image on her Twitter earlier:
Pretty intense. I know a lot of people were bummed that Joker was even getting a sequel, let alone that Lady Gaga has been cast in it, but the first one was so good that I’m actually exciting to see what director Todd Phillips comes up with.
Obviously nobody’s worried about Joaquin Phoenix playing Joker because we all know he’s an elite-level actor. Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn though? She does have a crazy look in her eye in the image above that’s quite promising, and she was good in A Star Is Born and American Horror Story. Besides, it’s not like Margot Robbie was particularly great as Quinn so maybe there’s a lower bar for Gaga to reach there.
We also know that Brendan Gleeson that joined the cast of Joker 2, so that’s pretty great. See you in October 2024 when we discover if it’s been worth the wait.
