With a phrase from William Shakespeare and an R rating, the sequel to Joker (2019) will hit theaters. “You can do whatever you want… you are the Joker,” Lady Gaga playing Harley Quinn is heard saying in a TikTok video shared by the production. The long-awaited film starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips obtained that classification, precisely because the Motion Picture Association (MPA) considered that the film is “rated R for some strong violence, full language, some sexuality and brief full nudity.” .
Yesterday, The official poster for the continuation of Arthur Fleck's story, which arrived at the 2020 Oscars, was also revealed. “The world is a stage,” reads the caption of the image of Gaga and Phoenix starting a dance. The phrase is from the playwright William Shakespeare, in which he refers to the fact that each person can play several roles. The first trailer will be released this Tuesday.
Variety had anticipated that the film will be “mainly” a musical, “integrating at least 15 reinterpretations of well-known songs. One is said to be 'That's Entertainment' from the 1953 musical The Band Wagon, made famous by Judy Garland.”
Harley Quinn would grow as a character with this movie. Before Joker: Folie à Deux, Lady Gaga was nominated for a Golden Globe for best performer in a miniseries or television film for 'American Horror Story: Hotel' and won the Oscars with the film A Star Is Born (2018). Margot Robbie, who played the character in Suicide Squad (2016), Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021), celebrated that the story continues.
“It makes me very happy because I said from the beginning: all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, in the same way that Macbeth or Batman always go from great actor to great actor. It's a great honor to have built a solid enough foundation that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors can try to play. I think he will do something incredible with it,” he said a year ago in an interview with MTV. Phillips' version of the Joker does not belong in Peter Safran and James Gunn's DC universe. The film won the Golden Lion at the 2019 Venice Film Festival and grossed more than $1 billion at the box office. joker 2 will hit theaters in October.
