Cinema Confirmed the Joker 2 movie: Joaquin Phoenix already reads the script
The
Warner Bros
studio is negotiating with the actress and singer
Lady Gaga
to co-star with
Joaquin Phoenix
in the musical film '
Joker
: Folie à Deux', according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gaga would play
Harley Quinn
, the
Joker
's partner in madness in this sequel to a musical cut that, like the first film, will also be directed by Todd Phillips.
After the box office success of '
Joker'
(2019), with which
Warner Bros
pocketed more than a billion dollars for its projections around the world, the
DC Comics franchise
wanted to give a blow and bet on this new film.
In this way, the rumors that had arisen last week, after the publication on Instagram of Phillips with the
cover of the script of the new film
, about the possibility of including the character of
Harley Quinn, materialize.
Quinn
first appeared in "Batman: The Animated Series" in the early 90s and will now join
Joker
for the adventure "Folie à Deux" ("Madness of Two", in Spanish), which refers to a disorder in in which two or more people
share psychiatric symptoms
, usually delusions.
More details are still unknown about the contract that
Lady Gaga
would sign if she agreed to join the project and if she would also contribute a song to the
film's soundtrack
.
Gaga has already worked with Phillips on
'A Star Is Born',
a film in which he participated as a producer and which earned the singer an
Oscar nomination
for best actress.
For his part, after the announcement of the release of this new film last week, it was also confirmed that
Joaquin Phoenix will play the
Joker
for the second time
, the role of villain that allowed him to win the
Oscar for best actor
in 2020.
