A new Joker 2 teaser has emerged online, which includes Lady Gaga speaking as her version of Harley Quinn in the upcoming Joaquin Phoenix-led sequel.
Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn is heard for the first time in a new Joker: Folie à Deux teaser, giving the world a taste of her version of the iconic DC character. One of the upcoming Elseworlds movies from Warner Bros.
Discovery and DC Studios is the highly anticipated Joker: Folie à Deux film, featuring Phoenix back as the Clown Prince of Crime. Original Joker director Todd Phillips is back to help flesh out his own little DC Universe as he continues to explore Arthur Fleck’s story.
As Joker: Folie à Deux will be arriving this fall, the official TikTok account for the film from Warner Bros. Pictures gave a little sneak preview of Gaga’s new iteration of Harley Quinn, who will be one of the prominent Joker: Folie à Deux cast members in the DC sequel.
The attached brief audio clip includes a harmonious tune with Gaga’s Harley Quinn saying, “You can do anything you want…you are Joker.” This is likely coming from the first Joker: Folie à Deux trailer, which will be released on Tuesday, April 9, as officially revealed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Everything We Know About Joker: Folie À Deux
For the first time in the superhero movie landscape, Joker: Folie à Deux will make history as it will be the first musical film in the comic book landscape. According to a recent report, there will be at least 15 numbers featured in the movie, which will mostly consist of preexisting songs. The title Joker: Folie à Deux is loosely translated into “shared psychosis” in French, most likely referring to the arc that Harley and Arthur will be on together.
The Joker: Folie à Deux story will take place sometime after the 2019 film, following Arthur’s life after he became a known public entity in Gotham City. With Arkham Asylum set to have a crucial role in the movie, it is very likely that most of the Joker: Folie à Deux plot will be based there, potentially with Harley serving as his psychiatrist before their shared chapter begins. Zazie Beetz will also reprise the role of Sophie Dumond from 2019’s Joker, although the nature of her involvement has yet to be specified.
There have also been hints that Joker: Folie à Deux story will introduce another major Batman villain, as signs were spotted on set with “Dent Is A Clown,” which is likely referring to Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face.
While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, a current popular theory is that Harry Lawtey’s mystery character is actually meant to be a young Harvey. Hopefully, as the Joker: Folie à Deux trailer drops next week, a lot more answers will be given about the mysterious DC sequel.
