Lady Gaga confirmed her casting in “Joker 2” by posting a musical teaser to social media. Todd Phillips, who directed and co-wrote the 2019 film first teased "Joker: Folie à Deux" back in June, will star Gaga opposite Joaquin Phoenix, returning to the role of Joker after winning the Oscar for best actor thanks to his performance in the 2019 first installment.

Phillips’ original “Joker” became a box office phenomenon in 2019, grossing just over $1 billion worldwide to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history. Gaga was circling the role of Harley Quinn in the upcoming “Joker” sequel, which is set to be a musical. Warner Bros. will release “Joker: Folie à Deux” in theaters Oct. 4, 2024.
