• In the intriguing teaser video posted by Gaga. It showed the silhouette Joker character of Phoenix ‘dancing’ along with a mystery woman. The woman shown in the video is the character of Gaga. Speculations are saying that the woman shown is Harley Quinn.
• It is known that Harley Quinn is the opposite character and partner in the crime of Joker. As also the meaning of the sequel title for reference, it would make sense if she is indeed Harley Quinn.
• However, there is no actual confirmation of the A Star is Born and House of Gucci actress. So we are yet to find out more about Gaga’s character but the chances are high that she would be playing Harley Quinn.

Lady Gaga playing the Harley Quinn is certainly interesting to watch. As this would also be her first time portraying a comic book character. She’s going to be a part of the actresses who played the iconic character along with the famous Margot Robbie.
