Lady Gaga is gearing up to portray Harley Quinn in the highly anticipated Joker sequel, “Joker: Folie à Deux.” Set to star alongside Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker in the Todd Phillips-directed musical, Gaga’s involvement has sparked excitement among fans.

Variety reports that Gaga is set to receive a substantial payout for her role. The singer/actress will reportedly earn around $12 million, while Phoenix is slated to earn $20 million for reprising his role as the iconic Batman villain. Recently, Phillips shared new character photos of Gaga and Joaquin on Valentine’s Day, further fueling anticipation for the film.

Gaga marked the end of filming in April with an Instagram post, sharing a memorable close-up photo. “That’s a wrap ❤️‍🔥 🎬🃏 X, Harleen,” she captioned. In the months since wrapping, Gaga has been sharing studio photos, prompting speculation among fans about a potential new album announcement in the near future.

Actress Margot Robbie, who first portrayed Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, expressed her excitement about Lady Gaga taking on the role. In a 2022 interview, Robbie said, “It’s such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. And I think she’ll do something incredible with it.”

The highly anticipated film, Joker: Folie à Deux, is scheduled to premiere on October 4th, and fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the first trailer. The movie will focus on the notorious romance between the Clown Prince of Crime and Harley Quinn, a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum who falls in love with the Joker.
