‘Lady Gaga will do something amazing with it in Joker 2’: Margot Robbie raves about new Harley Quinn


Margot Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn in the recent DC films Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey, has spoken about choosing Lady Gaga to reprise the role in Todd Philipps’ film “Joker: Crazy for Two.”

Last August we learned that Lady Gaga joined the cast of Joker: Folie à deux alongside Joaquin Phoenix. Even if no details were then made on her character, the singer and actress should play Harleen Quinzel alias Harley Quinn, the only known companion of the Joker.

A role played by Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad against Jared Leto’s Joker but also in Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad.

In full promotion of David O’Russell’s film, Amsterdam (in theaters November 1), Margot Robbie was interviewed by MTV News on the fact that Lady Gaga slips into the skin of the character in this film announced as a musical.

It makes me very happy because from the beginning I wanted Harley Quinn to become one of those characters, like Macbeth or Batman, who always goes from one great actor to another.“, says the actress before adding:

It’s an honor to have managed to build a solid enough base so that Harley can now be embodied by other actresses. I think she [Lady Gaga] will make something amazing out of it.”

Lady Gaga has already won the Golden Globes for Best Actress in a Miniseries for her role in American Horror Story in 2016 and nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress in 2019 for A Star is born and in 2022 for House of Gucci.

Joker won two Oscars – Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix and Original Score for Hildur Guðnadóttir – and grossed $1.07 billion at the international box office. Results that allow the sequel to Todd Philips’ feature film to have a larger budget of 150 million dollars (the first opus, released at the end of 2019, had cost “only” 55 million dollars).

Led by Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Catherine Keener, Brendan Gleeson and Zazie Beetz, Joker: Folie à deux will be released in our theaters on October 2, 2024.
