Warner Bros. Discovery CEO. David Zaslav, spoke about Joker: Folie à Deux, confirming the start of filming, and exalting the cast.
After the director of photography Lawrence Sher spoke two weeks ago about the start of filming on Joker: Folie à Deux, announcing that work would start on the set by November, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav himself confirmed. the news.
During the third quarter call from Warner bros. Discovery, Zaslav said filming on Joker: Folie à Deux will begin in December, and will feature an incredible variety of screen talent. After all, we know that Joaquin Phoenix will return as the protagonist and that alongside him there will be Lady Gaga.
Lawrence Sher said two weeks ago that Joker: Folie à Deux would begin shooting within a month, with filming taking place between Los Angeles and New York, and added:
Lady Gaga is perfect for this movie, and she will create the same kind of magic that Joaquin did with her part. The amalgamation between the two of them will be exactly as we had hoped, it will be something exciting, and every day on the set will be magical. We also hope to have a bit of madness, we like the idea of having a bit of chaos.
Margot Robbie also expressed herself regarding the presence of Lady Gaga, who, as the interpreter of Harley Quinn, is enthusiastic about the idea of seeing the performer engaged in the same role as her.
This thing makes me really happy – she said – because from the start I wanted Harley Quinn to reach this level, which is to become one of those characters, Macbeth or Batman style, capable of moving from one great actor to another. Everyone comes up with their own version of Batman or Macbeth.
And there are not many cases in which all this belongs to a female character. For example, I had the honor of playing Queen Elizabeth I. At that moment I thought it was wonderful that after Cate Blanchett it was I who played that role. To have created such a strong foundation for Harley Quinn, and to have the character pass from one actor to another is great. I think Lady Gaga will do something great.
Jacob Lofland and Catherine Keener are part of the cast of the project. Among the other performers who will participate in Joker 2, we can mention Brendan Gleeson and Zazie Beetz. But the absolute protagonists of the film will be Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, who should play the role of Harley Quinn, or a very similar character.
The title of the new feature refers to the syndrome that can affect two or more people who start sharing a psychosis. The script was written by Todd Phillips himself and Scott Silver. Clearly, for the new film, there will be Joaquin Phoenix, who will return to play the role of the clown of crime already seen in the first feature film.
