Todd Phillips quietly drops the first look for his upcoming movie Joker: For a Do. There, Lady Gaga, who has fallen in love, appears as Harley Quinn. The photo released on Valentine’s Day offers absolutely no context for the film. But the moment shared between Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck, aka The Joker, and Harley was enough to send the internet into a frenzy.

There were some apprehensions when Warner Bros. announced Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, but with Margot Robbie becoming popular since 2016’s Suicide Squad, the audience seemed to be largely hushed. And for all good reasons.
Lady Gaga as Dr. Harleen Quinzel can do justice to the character.According to the comics, Arthur was at Arkham Asylum when he met psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel. The comic depicts the abusive and codependent nature of Joker and Quinn’s romantic relationship. Despite the trauma, her reason for returning to the Joker comes from her fear of being abandoned.
Upon first viewing the film, it’s easy to see Gaga’s fascination with Arthur. The shade of red color that may have happened after the couple’s brief kiss and her expression prove that she’s already in love. In the end, he finally found someone who was into his darkest side.

Another reason Gaga is a good fit for Phillip’s musical is her singing career. She has consistently proven that she can take on any challenge. Her music and videos also contain strange, dark, and philosophical themes that many of her pop artists don’t readily gravitate toward. Examples of this include Bad Romance, Born This Way, Applause, Paparazzi and Stupid Love. Everything proves that Gaga can easily transform into anyone and anything.
Although she is known for her quirky fashion choices ( meat dress?) and off limits high heels, Gaga’s brand has always aimed to entertain people to the fullest, even if that means using the weirdest props. , her ‘be yourself’ philosophy is the reason why she is loved by so many. She’s fearless, hardworking, and talented. That’s why she even reached an Oscar. Additionally, her breakthrough roles in A Star Is Born and Maison of Gucci prove she can justify her complicated characters and their difficult life.
So far, Gaga’s seemingly on the rise career has built her up for exactly this moment. Margret Robbie would definitely be better, but compared to what Gaga brings to the table Remember, Philip’s 2019 Joker, Arthur, was responsible for causing riots in Gotham after failing consistently on all fronts. Although it received raunchy reviews, Phoenix’s Joker managed to come close to portraying the character’s mental turmoil with some of Heath Ledger’s portrayals. It’s no small feat.

In a similar context, a romance between the characters of Gaga and Phoenix could be very funny, depressing, or shocking. As seen in the photo above, the Phillips are able to bring out their charm but need to avoid glorifying their complicated bond. The film’s title, Folie à Deux (meaning “two madness” in English) suggests that their chaos will reign supreme on the screen, but Phillips is a force to be reckoned with in his powerful talents. It remains to be seen how far it will go to shock audiences.
