Shooting for the musical continuation of Joker is already underway. Meanwhile, the presence on the set has apparently already been confirmed by Lady Gaga, which can be deduced from her recent publication on social media.
Lady Gaga takes the next step in her acting career and this time she will enter a loose adaptation of the DC comic book universe. It’s about the 2019 Joker sequel , Folie a Deux . It seems that the artist is already working on the film set. On Wednesday, Gaga posted on Instagram in which she boasted an Oscar nomination for the song Hold My Hand for the movie Top Gun: Maverick . In the photo we see the smiling singer with a bouquet of flowers, while in the description she states that she is “now on a movie set”. While this is out of the question, it is most likely a sequel to Joker , of course . The director himself, Todd Phillips pointed out in a comment on Instagramlate last year that Gaga would not join the set until January.

Thank you so much to the Academy for nominating my song Hold My Hand for this year’s Oscar! Writing her for Top Gun: Maverick was a profound and powerful experience that I will never forget. I’m so grateful for the magic of music and cinema […] I’m on set now lots of love for my little monsters!
What will Joker 2 be about ?
Directed and written by Phillips, Joker: Folie a Deux will be a musical about the twisted romance of Arthur Fleck/Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) and Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn (Lady Gaga). Most of the action is said to take place in Arkham Asylum. The film also stars Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener and Jacob Lofland.
I actually think it makes great sense. I wasn’t surprised that Todd always has a creative approach to characters. I love musicals and think of them as heroes who feel and experience so much that they can only sing and dance about it, whether they’re sad or happy. In fact, I see it in myself as well, because singing and dancing are cathartic experiences for me. At one point in my life, I was going through a really hard time and I just started dancing and crying alone. It was a form of expression that suited me at the time. So yes, I imagine Arthur experiencing and feeling so much singing and dancing about it. He’s the Joker, so I think it makes sense.
Beetz said in an interview last year .
Joker: Folie a Deux will hit theaters on October 4, 2024.
