According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gaga’s Harley would exist “in a different DC universe” than the one played by Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad (2016), Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2020).
The film will see the return of former Joker director Todd Phillips as director and co-writer alongside Scott Silver.
The second installment of the series is highly anticipated, given the success of Joker in 2019.
The first film broke box office records as the first R-rated film to reach the US$1 billion mark, People reports, and also earned 12 Oscar nominations, including the win for best actor for Phoenix.
Phillips teased the sequel in June, sharing a red script for the film and another black-and-white photo of Phoenix reading the script.

No other cast members have been released for the project.
But there’s a clue in the film’s title.
“Folie à Deux” is a French term that refers to an illusion or mental illness shared by two people. So maybe there are some dark and twisted journeys ahead for Phoenix and Gaga.
