Joker 2 Teaser Trailer Reveals Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn Dances With Joaquin Phoenix

THE first Joker 2 teaser trailer reveals Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn dancing with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and teases the film’s musical element.

Lady Gaga shares a quick tease of Joker 2 – officially titled Joker: Folie à Deux – that hints at her Harley Quinn look opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. Warner Bros. made the bold move a few years ago to push its DC content in a different direction and make a solo Joker movie.

Directed by Todd Phillips and starring Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, Joker became a massive hit – grossing over $1 billion worldwide and earning a Best Picture nomination. Unsurprisingly, Warner Bros. did not wait long to begin developing Joker 2, which was always meant to see Phoenix return as the Clown Prince of Crime.

The development of Joker 2 took some major steps forward earlier this year. Phillips revealed the movie’s title Joker: Folie à Deux in a picture of Phoenix reading the script, which sparked speculation that a second Joker or Harley Quinn could be involved. The latter was then confirmed when it was reported that Lady Gaga joined Joker 2 to play Harley Quinn. Her addition came with news that the sequel would have musical elements to it.

Now, Lady Gaga has shared a quick Joker 2 teaser trailer that includes Harley Quinn and Joker dancing together. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga’s notoriety helps headline the teaser, as the red background is met with black silhouettes of Joker and Harley Quinn. They are featured individually and then dance together. The Joker 2 teaser trailer provides the first glimpse at what Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn will look like.

This announcement video marks the official confirmation that Lady Gaga is playing Harley Quinn in Joker 2. It also comes on the heels of Warner Bros. announcing that Joker 2 will release in 2024, almost five years from the date when the first movie arrived. The sequel is expected to begin filming this December, meaning it still be a while before audiences get to see Phoenix’s Joker and Gaga’s Harley Quinn together on screen. This new Joker 2 teaser at least provides audiences with a quick tease of what is to come in the highly-anticipated DC project.

There will hopefully be many more glimpses of Joker 2 to come on social media. Phillips and Phoenix used social media repeatedly to share the first glimpses of the original movie. This included the still memorable first look at Phoenix’s Joker makeup.

Now that Joker 2’s online marketing has already started thanks to this video, there is hope that an official look at Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn will come later this year. For now, the Joker: Folie à Deux teaser trailer gives everyone a hint of what the fan-favorite DC anti-hero could look like. (source: screenrant.com)
