In just a few days, the public will get to see a new actress portray Harley Quinn in a live-action movie following Margot Robbie ’s run as the character in the DC Extended Universe. Lady Gaga is putting her own spin on Harley in the upcoming DC movie Joker: Folie à Deux , informally known as Joker 2 , which picks up two years after the events of the first Joker movie. There’s already been praise thrown Gaga’s way for her performance in this DC Comics adaptation that sees her acting opposite Joaquin Phoenix, but Gaga admitted that inhabiting the role also impacted her home life with her fiancé, Michael Polansky.
Lady Gaga discussed this subject while explaining how the movie inspired her new album Harlequin , which collects reimagined covers that she and Phoenix sing in Joker, as well as two original songs. The singer-songwriter and star of movies like A Star is Born and House of Gucci started off by telling EW : I wasn’t finished with this character when I was done making the movie. Creating her had a deeply profound effect on me.
The way I prepare for things, Michael also got to know Lee pretty well, and it’s why we conceived of this project together. Naturally we’ve already seen snippets of what Lady Gaga will be doing as Harley Quinn, referred to as Lee in this movie, thanks to the first Joker: Folie à Deux trailer and the subsequent previews, but it’s nice to get extra insight on how actors handle their roles. Clearly Gaga poured a lot of herself into .
