Last week, it was officially announced that Oscar and Grammy winner Lady Gaga had joined Joaquin Phoenix in the highly anticipated sequel ‘Joker: Crazy for Two’.
The singer and actress will play Harley Quinn, in love with the Clown of Crime embodied by Phoenix.
As director James Gunn has worked with the character in ‘The Suicide Squad’ before, when she was played by Margot Robbie, he commented on his thoughts on casting Gaga for the role.
In an Instagram Q&A, one fan asked:
“Comments on Lady Gaga’s casting as Harley Quinn in the Joker sequel?
To which he replied:
Have fun watching:
“I’m really interested to see what Todd Phillips is up to. I met Lady Gaga once and she was really nice, so I’m always looking for nice people to do well.

Remember that the announcement of Gaga’s casting stopped social networks and delighted fans of the emblematic artist – who were quick to show their enthusiasm by watching the feature film.
Check out some of the reactions:
Marvel putting some 380 heroes from multi-connected universes into the Avengers doesn’t come close to the mega event that will be Lady Gaga making the Joker movie.

Warner has announced that it will release the film in theaters on October 4, 2024.
After a long negotiation with the studio, Phoenix will win big for the film.
When he first played Gotham’s most infamous villain in 2019’s “Joker,” Phoenix earned $4.5 million. The film grossed over a billion dollars and won the actor an Oscar.
Now the actor has asked for a significant raise for Warner Bros. To put Phoenix back in clown makeup, the studio had to shell out $20 million plus a share of box office profits. The value was revealed by The Hollywood Reporter.
The sequel will be a musical.
In ‘Joker’, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) works as a clown for a talent agency and has to visit a social worker every week because of his known mental problems. After being fired, Fleck reacts badly to the teasing of three men in the middle of the subway and kills them. The murders spark a grassroots movement against Gotham City’s elite, of which Thomas Wayne (Brett Cullen) is the most prominent representative.
