This year's most anticipated Joker continued, Joker: Folie Versus Deux, We see Joaquin Phoenix return as the infamous crime prince and Batman villain. But this time, he's not alone, with the addition of Harley Quinn, who is portrayed by the pop superstar and award-winning actor in the sequel Lady Gagain the upcoming DC movie. But if you're expecting a sassy, gum-chewing, stick-swinging Harley with her signature accent and sass, well… I've got bad news.
Joker: Folie vs Deux, It will be released in cinemas on October 4th big musical sequel Todd Phillips' 2019 JokerThe film was a more realistic and grittier version of the iconic Batman villain, with Phoenix portraying a more tragic and broken version of the Joker than anything previously seen in live-action movies and on TV. And in the upcoming sequel, Phillips is attempting to do something similar with Harley Quinn.
In a new interview DiversityPhilips explained the origins of the sequel, why it's a musical, and what it's like to work with Phoenix again on a new film. Joker But she also talked about Gaga's Harley Quinn, explaining that her version of the character would be very different.
“We took away the high voice, the accent, the gum chewing, all that bratty stuff from the comics,” Phillips said. “We wanted him to fit into the Gotham world that we created from the first movie.”
In a video posted by DiversityPhillips explained that Gaga did what Phoenix did with Joker and created her “own interpretation” of the famous character.
“We tried to pay homage to the animated series, the comics, the movies, but we tried to put it through a realistic lens like we did before. [in Joker,]” said Phillips. It is important to note that, Joker 2Harley Quinn is a patient at Arkham, not a doctor, and that's a big change.
Of course, many people online were not happy about it. And while it's true that others were too Batman The characters have been portrayed in various ways over the years, it seems odd to throw away the entire premise of the character and keep the name. But then again, this is its own universe, disconnected from any other DC movies or comics, so it makes sense that the people involved would want to experiment and try new things. I wonder if the experimentation will be worth it when the sequel arrives in October.
When it comes Joker 3It seems unlikely that Phillips will return, Diversity“It was fun to play in that kind of sandbox for two movies, but I think we said what we wanted to say in that world.”
However, if this movie does the same JokerDon't be surprised if WB finds someone else to direct a third one. They'll probably throw as much money at Phoenix as it takes to bring him back for a sequel.
