Ever since director Todd Phillips announced the forthcoming sequel<\/a> to his 2019 blockbuster hit Joker<\/em> starring Joaquin Phoenix, fans have theorized which lucky actress would wind up playing opposite the Oscar-winner\u2019s crazed Gotham City villain.<\/p>\n

Dubbed Joker: Folie \u00c0 Deux<\/em>, Lady Gaga<\/a> has confirmed her casting by posting a promotional teaser to her social media platforms. The black and red video plays to the tune of \u201cCheek to Cheek,\u201d which Gaga has covered alongside her close collaborator Tony Bennett<\/a>. As silhouettes of Phoenix and Gaga join together in dance, we hear a bit of Phoenix\u2019s maniacal laughter as Joker<\/em>, before a release date of October 4, 2024, is revealed.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve all become aware of Gaga\u2019s acting chops in recent years, with stellar performances in American Horror Story<\/em>, A Star is Born<\/em>, and House of Gucci<\/em><\/a>, there may be another reason Gaga was the perfect fit for her role. Rumored to be playing the beloved antiheroine Harley Quinn (previously portrayed by Margot Robbie), Joker: Folie \u00c0 Deux<\/em> will be set in a musical format.<\/p>\n
