Lady Gaga in "early talks" to play Harley Quinn in 'Joker 2'

Lady Gaga is reportedly in talks to play Harley Quinn in the 'Joker' sequel.  

According to The Hollywood Reporter, no deals have been inked yet but the Grammy Award winner could be a great choice as the sequel will reportedly be a musical. 

Director Todd Phillips revealed last week that the new movie will be called 'Joker: Folie à deux'.  Joaquin Phoenix is also in talks to reprise his role as Arthur Fleck aka the Joker.

The 2019 'Joker' movie was a massive success. The film, which was co-written by Todd and Scott Silver, grossed over $1-billion at the box office. 

Joaquin won a 'Best Actor' award at the 2022 Oscars for his portrayal of the Joker. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lady Gaga's version of Harley Quinn exists in a different DC universe than Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn.

Margot portrays the role in 'The Suicide Squad'. 

Lady Gaga's fans think she is perfect for the role! The 36-year-old received a 'Best Actress' nomination for her lead role in 'A Star Is Born'. She missed out on the Oscar, but took home the 'Best Original Song' award for 'Shallow'. 

Gaga starred in 'A Star Is Born' alongside Bradley Cooper, who also directed and co-wrote the film. Todd Phillips was a co-producer. 

Some Twitters users believe Lady Gaga is destined to play Harley Quinn.

"Everything Lady Gaga has done in her career has led up to this exact moment. Every song, album and movie she has ever done was just a long form audition to get the role of Harley Quinn in Joker 2," one Twitter user wrote.

Another user wrote: "Award-winning actress Lady Gaga will eat the role Harley Quinn up."
