Lady Gaga has revealed more details about the forthcoming Joker: Folie A Deux and the directions it takes. Gaga stars as Harleen “Lee” Quinzel – a version of Harley Quinn – opposite Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck and the Joker. The sequel to 2019’s Joker will be out October 4, five years after the original film came out. It is already known that the sequel will feature musical numbers, including classic tracks like ‘Get Happy’, ‘For Once in My Life’ and ‘That’s Life’, but Gaga has elaborated more on the film’s multi-genre approach. “Todd [Philips, director] took a very big swing with this whole concept and with the script, giving the sequel to Joker this audacity and complexity,” she told Variety. “There’s music, there’s dance, it’s a drama, it’s also a courtroom drama, it’s a comedy, it’s happy, it’s sad. It’s a testament to [Todd] as a director, that he would rather be creative than just tell a traditional story of love.”
