First image shared of Lady Gaga in Joker: Folie à Deux

Grammy winning musician and Oscar-nominated actor Lady Gaga has shared a first look image for the upcoming Joker (2019) sequel Joker: Folie à Deux.

It was announced last year that Gaga will star in the upcoming drama musical. However, it's still unclear whether the artist will play the Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn or another character.

In the caption of the photo shared by Gaga and producer Todd Phillips it says: "Happy Valentines Day". For many DC fans, it's a hint that Gaga will actually portray the lawless Harley Quinn.

Joker: Folie à Deux, which translates to "Joker: Madness for Two", is currently set for a theatrical release on 4th October 2024. It is a direct sequel to the 2019 Joker film by Phillips, with the difference of being a musical this time.

Actor Joaquin Phoenix will once again play the mad antagonist of Batman after his successful debut in 2019. For his portrayal of Arthur Fleck (the Joker), Phoenix won the Academy Award for best actor.

Todd Phillips will be assisted by Bradley Cooper as an additional producer. Gaga and Cooper previously collaborated on the romantic musical drama A Star Is Born (2018). The film received numerous awards and nominations, including five Golden Globe nominations and eight Academy Award nominations.

The last Harley Quinn was played by Margot Robbie in films such as Suicide Squad (2016) its sequel The Suicide Squad (2021), and 2020‘s Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. It has been confirmed that Robbie will not play Harley Quinn in the second Joker film.
