The sequel to the 2019 hit, Joker, which had people dancing down their stairs, has a release date of 2024, and fans think that one actor is already getting into the swing of things.

The title alone gives away the relationship of these two notorious characters, Folie à Deux translating to madness in pairs. The 2019 Joker gave an interesting spin on the origin of the character, looking at his mental illness and surrounding circumstances that led to his descent into madness and violence. Now many wonder what the sequel will have in store for his partner, after seeing both Margot Robbie and Kaley Cuoco’s versions of the character emancipate themselves from the toxic relationship they had with the psychotic clown.

Lady Gaga has already played a somewhat unhinged character in last year’s House of Gucci as Patrizia Reggiani, an outsider who married into the Gucci family only for her unbridled ambition to lead to betrayal, deception, and murder. Lady Gaga has discussed her method-acting approach to roles in the past, with some detriment to her mental health on occasion. Now that her upcoming role has been announced, fans are wondering if her new character is already seeping into her life.

The actress/singer recently started her sixth headlining concert tour in America, titled ‘The Chromatica Ball’, and fans think that her method-acting for Harley Quinn has already begun. Not only the balls theme, but a clip of the actor laughing somewhat maniacally has fans convinced she is jumping into the deep end.
