Margot Robbie has opened up about Lady Gaga playing Harley Quinn in the upcoming Joker sequel. Back in June, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Gaga was in the early talks to star in the upcoming film as the Joker’s beloved partner in crime, Harley Quinn.
However, details surrounding her exact role in the project were being kept under wraps. After months of silence, Mother Monster confirmed her involvement in the film after uploading a brief teaser to her Instagram – which featured her dancing with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.
While Gaga’s role as Harley has yet to be confirmed, fans have already supported the idea of the Bad Romance singer stepping into the shoes of the beloved anti-hero.
Margot Robbie, who famously portrayed the character in DC’s Birds of Prey and Suicide Squad, has also given her blessing. In a recent interview with MTV News, the Wolf of Wall Street star said that Gaga would be “incredible” in the role. “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 have a go at playing,” she explained. “I think [Gaga] will do something incredible with it.
