Fans have already seen a few production images from the set of Joker: Folie à Deux AKA Joker 2. However, the latest set photo features Lady Gaga in a stunning Harley Quinn costume. It’s a look that already has fans talking.
As you can see below, Lady Gaga’s new costume features some familiar colors for the character. Red, white, and black are all on display including an iconic diamond pattern that brings to mind her harlequin namesake. Furthermore, Gaga has makeup to match, with pale skin and clown makeup featured around her eyes.
It appears that, during this scene, Harley Quinn is being escorted by police as she leaves the New York County Courthouse. There are also extras outside that appear to be playing a mob of protestors. Unfortunately, there aren’t many plot details for the upcoming sequel to assume what’s going on at this point, though some of the signs held by the mob include the following phrase:
“Free Joker.”
As such, one can assume that Harley Quinn is participating in a trial involving Joaquin Phoenix‘s Joker. Though, given her appearance, it’s unclear what exactly her role in such a trial could be. At the very least, this looks like an exciting expansion of the world we last saw in Todd Phillips’ original Joker film. We’ll likely have additional images and details revealed soon.
Here are the images featuring Lady Gaga in her new Harley Quinn costume:
