Lady Gaga To Debut As Harley Quinn In 'Joker' Sequel

Joker sequel Folie à Deux

Lady Gaga is set to captivate audiences with her portrayal of Lee Quinzel, a rendition of the iconic Harley Quinn character from DC comic books, in the upcoming film 'Joker: Folie à Deux.' This movie, which combines elements of a musical and a dark love story, showcases Gaga's versatility as an artist.

In a recent interview, Gaga revealed the extent to which she had to alter her performance style for the role. Known for her showmanship and powerful vocals as a singer, Gaga intentionally shed these familiar traits to embody a more subdued and breathy singing technique for the character. She even went as far as unlearning her usual vocal placement techniques to fully immerse herself in the role.

The chemistry between Gaga's Lee Quinzel and Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck, also known as the Joker, is palpable on screen. Their duets feature a synchronized singing style that complements the dark and intense narrative of the film.
