Fans of the DC universe are eagerly anticipating the release of Joker: Folie à Deux on October 2nd in theaters around the world. The film will follow the dark adventures of the Joker, portrayed by the talented Joaquin Phoenix. What sets this second film apart is its genre: a musical drama. The two lead actors had to showcase their vocal talents in numerous scenes. For Lady Gaga, who will portray the mysterious Harley Quinn, this is no problem, but for Joaquin Phoenix, it’s a whole different story!
“She spat out her coffee the first time I sang”
The American actor seems to have had some trouble adjusting to the genre of this second film. He stated to Empire that the first time his co-star, the famous Lady Gaga, heard him sing, she spat out her coffee. A rather encouraging reaction, which made him laugh a lot. For an actor who has never ventured into music, it can be quite intimidating to have to sing for several scenes, especially in front of a music star who has won an Oscar and 13 Grammy Awards!
Lady Gaga? No, Harley Quinn!
On her part, one might think that for Lady Gaga, the task was fairly simple. However, the singer, who has turned to the film industry in recent years, still had to work hard to truly embody Harley Quinn. It was important for her to be fully in character and not let “Lady Gaga” take over.
This musical drama approach for the second Joker film has piqued curiosity, and many fans are eager to see the result. In a few months, we will finally be able to see Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga sing their hearts out in this film that promises to be utterly moving!
