Margot Robbie Would Be ‘Overjoyed’ to See Lady Gaga Play Harley Quinn In ‘Joker 2’

While it hasn’t been officially confirmed that Lady Gaga will play Harley Quinn in Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux, Margot Robbie is enthusiastic about the possibility.

“It’s kind of like someone gets to do their Batman, or someone gets to do their Macbeth, or someone,” she continued. And I don’t think there are many female characters in these stories.” Robbie explained that Queen Elizabeth I is one of the few female characters who has been passed down to other actors, but there aren’t many more.

“It’s such an honour to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to try out for,” Robbie said of Gaga playing Quinn. “I think she’ll do amazing things with it.”

Gaga’s role as Quinn in Joker 2 opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Clown Prince of Crime has yet to be confirmed. However, the supervillain is well-known for his on-again, off-again abusive relationship with Quinn, his former psychiatrist who falls in love with him and becomes his criminal partner.

If Gaga is cast in Phillips’ sequel, her version of the character would exist in a different DC Universe than Robbie’s, allowing both actresses to play the psychiatrist-turned-criminal in separate films.

Joker: Folie à Deux will be released in theatres on October 4, 2024, and stars Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, and Jacob Lofland.
