Lady Gaga has confirmed her involvement in the ‘Joker 2’ by posting a musical teaser of the film on her social media page. Gaga will appear in the follow-up, formally titled “Joker: Folie à Deux,” opposite Joaquin Phoenix, who will reprise the role of the Joker after winning the Oscar for best actor for his work in the 2019 original. The song playing in the teaser is “Cheek to Cheek,” which Gaga famously performed with Tony Bennett in her music career.
For Warner Bros., Harley Quinn has proven to be a dependable figure. In the hit HBO Max animated series “Harley Quinn,” which is currently in its third season, Kaley Cuoco provides the voice of the character. Margot Robbie has played the part three times: in the 2016 film “Suicide Squad,” the 2020 film “Birds of Prey,” and the 2021 film “The Suicide Squad” and continues to be a fan favorite.

Lady Gaga To Star Alongside Joaquin Phoenix In ‘Joker 2’
The first “Joker” from Phillips became a box office sensation in 2019, earning just over $1 billion globally to become the most successful R-rated film in history (unadjusted for inflation). The film received 11 nominations for Academy Awards, including best picture and director, after taking home the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Phoenix and Hildur Gunadóttir each received an Oscar for best original score.
The second Joker film has been long-awaited and Joaquin’s performance has been highly praised. It will be very interesting to see how Lady Gaga comes into the fold, especially in this ultra-violent, realistic depiction of mental health. While she wouldn’t be my first pick I will wait to see the film and judge her performance after I watch it.
