"Man, she’s good" Lady Gaga is set to “blow your mind” in her role as Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux , according to the film’s casting director. The actor and singer is set to star in the film alongside Joaquin Phoenix , who will resume his complex portrayal of the iconic titular DC villain, a role that earned him the Oscar for Best Actor for the first film. Gaga will play Harley Quinn, Arthur Fleck/Joker’s lover and sidekick, and the film’s casting director Francine Maisler has said that she is “really surprised” that Gaga was able to keep pace with Phoenix during the shooting of the film.
Speaking at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic, Maisley said (via Deadline ): “She’s so good in it, you guys. She’s going to blow your mind.” “I didn’t suggest Lady Gaga.
It wasn’t my idea. That was Todd Phillips , before me,” she added, referring to the film’s director. “But I will tell you, she’s really surprising — and really good.
I saw it and I was really surprised.” “I mean, we all knew what she could do in A Star is Born , but I thought, ‘Oh, well, that’s kind of in her wheelhouse.’ Something she could do and just be real.
But this...
Man, she’s good . Joaquin blows your mind, but that she could keep up with him, and be real — and not just wiped off the screen by what that role is and what the performance is — shows she’s good.” The first trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux dropped in Ap.
