Regardless of the presence of music in Todd Phillips’ 2018 DC pic Joker (the steps dancing scene rapidly moved to popular culture meme-town), we’re unsure we might have referred to as the sequel changing into a musical. Ditto the concept that Woman Gaga is likely to be entertaining a suggestion to co-star reverse Joaquin Phoenix. But each are apparently true, in line with The Hollywood Reporter.

Let us take a look at the Gaga facet of issues first – she’s not but dedicated to the film, however is within the midst of creating a deal to play… properly, if the Reporter‘s sources are correct, Harley Quinn. Clearly, on condition that Joker is not related to the broader DC Prolonged Universe, this might be a special Harley from Margot Robbie’s, however the potential is fascinating.

Particularly since Phillips and co-writer Scott Silver (they’re each again for the sequel) performed with some notable Batman characters within the first movie, not the least of which a younger Bruce Wayne.

After which… a musical? Sudden, however you need to see how that concept works. Phillips posted the script cowl to social media final week, revealing a working title of Joker: Folie à Deux, with the subtitle referring to a psychological dysfunction affecting two or extra individuals. And, as we noticed within the authentic movie, Fleck’s affect actually begins to unfold.

Phillips had our curiosity to this point. However now, he has our consideration. Assuming all of it comes collectively – and Phoenix is outwardly additionally determining his personal deal to return, that is actually no bland sequel idea.
