Todd Phillips, the director of the upcoming Joker sequel, has debuted the first look at Lady Gaga’s character. The official still shows the pop icon in an intimate – and passionate – moment with Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck, aka the Joker.

The caption simply reads: “Happy Valentine’s Day.” Gaga’s involvement with the film, which will be a musical, was confirmed in June 2022.

She will be playing the iconic role of Harley Quinn, a psychiatrist who falls in love with Arthur. Margot Robbie memorably played the anti-hero in the DC Extended Universe films Suicide Squad (2016), Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021).

Robbie gave Gaga her blessing in an interview with MTV News, saying she will do “something incredible with it”. “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. “It makes me so happy because, I said from the very beginning is, all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way, like, Macbeth or Batman always gets passed, you know, from great actor to great actor.” Joker: Folie à Deux, which means “shared madness” in French, is presumably set to take place after the events of the first film, which made history as the first R-rated flick to gross $1 billion at the box office.

reports Trans LGBTI people in Europe face an increasingly toxic and violent environment, new reports warns
Released on Monday morning, the study shows the steepest rise in anti-LGBTI violence since the organisation began publishing its annual report 12 years ago.The trends in 2022 present not only a marked increase in the number of attacks but especially in the severity and lethality with which they were conducted, such as the shootings in Bratislava and in Oslo, where the attackers were said to have purposely targeted queer people."It's deliberate attacks with a wish to kill," says Evelyne Paradis, executive director at ILGA-Europe.The report pays no mind to the traditional West-East divide and instead points the finger at a long list of European countries where anti-LGBTI hate crimes are "on the rise," including France, Hungary, Germany, Montenegro, Iceland, Romania, Spain, Turkey, Switzerland and Russia.The reasons behind this violence are multi-fold and vary from country to country but they all can be traced back to one common pattern: hateful rhetoric."There’s a rise in hate speech – and hate speech often by politicians, by elected officials, by key opinion leaders and, dare I say, also hate speech that has been allowed to be disseminated by the media as well," Paradis told Euronews in an interview."Hateful speech always has an impact.
