To confirm the news of the sequel to Joker it was director Todd Phillips who, with an Instagram post revealed the title and the protagonist: always him, Joaquin Phoenix. The title, Folie à Deux, is a reference to psychiatric disorder transmitted from one person suffering from delirium to another, specifically from Joker to Harley Quinn, girlfriend deeply in love with the villain. The two will therefore share sentiment and madness. In the past, this character was played by Margot Robbie three times: in 2016 alongside Jared Leto in Suicide Squadin 2020 in Birds of Prey and then the following year in The Suicide Squad. It seems, however, that in the Todd Phillips sequel Harley Quinn will have different characteristics. Features that, probably, were found in Lady Gaga.

After all, Stefani Germanotta is a well-rounded artist. After her musical abilities, in fact, she has also given great tests in acting. Just think about the success of A star is born, in which he starred opposite Bradley Cooper. Or to the role of Patrizia Reggiani portrayed in House of Gucci. Not only. Todd Phillips, director of Joker: Folie à deux, he was also the producer of A star is born. The two, therefore, have known each other for some time. And Phillips for his “Joker 2” wants to play it safe. All that remains is to know what Lady Gaga will decide.
