The new film Joker: Folie à Deux AKA Joker 2 has officially wrapped. And, to celebrate, fans have been treated to the first official photo of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in the film.
Many fans have been eager to see how Gaga’s portrayal of the character will turn out. After all, not only did Joker offer a unique take for its own titular character, but Harley Quinn has been adapted far less in live-action. The iconic animated and comic book character has so far only been portrayed by Margot Robbie in live-action.
It’s good to know that the film has finally wrapped production. Now that we’ve been treated to this official image of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, let’s hope it won’t be much longer before we see what else the film has to offer. Especially now that the film’s director, Todd Phillips, will be hitting the editing room.
Todd Phillips shared the following caption to accompany the image:
“That’s a wrap,” he writes. “Thanks to these two (+ the entire cast) and the BEST crew that the film industry has to offer. From top to bottom. Gonna crawl into a cave now (edit room) and put it all together.”
It’s exciting to see Lady Gaga give her own spin on Harley Quinn. Here’s a taste of Lady Gaga as Harley in the photo below:
