In an interview with Vogue, Lady Gaga shared some details about her experience portraying Harley Quinn. She described her character as having a childlike immaturity, which she found fascinating to explore. She also revealed that her live musical performances in the film were carefully crafted to match Harley’s unique personality. Gaga is known for immersing herself deeply into her roles, and her portrayal of Harley Quinn is expected to be no different.
Joker: Folie à Deux is set to release in theaters on October 3, 2024. The movie premiered earlier at the Venice Film Festival, receiving mixed reviews. Some critics felt it was an improvement over the 2019 Joker film, which won two Academy Awards, but still found it slow in parts.
Despite the mixed reviews, fans are excited to see how Lady Gaga’s performance and music will add to the film’s experience.
Gaga’s Continued Success
In addition to her work on Harlequin, Lady Gaga has also been making waves with her recent duet with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” which has topped the Billboard charts for four consecutive weeks. She also performed at the Paris Olympics ceremony, further proving her versatility as an artist.
Lady Gaga’s acting career has been equally impressive, with major roles in A Star is Born, House of Gucci, and American Horror Story. Her portrayal of Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux is expected to be another memorable performance, solidifying her status as a multi-talented star.
As we await the film’s release, Harlequin is sure to offer fans a deeper look into the mind of Harley Quinn, brought to life by Gaga’s music and creative vision.
