In a recent interview with Deadline, Gaga delved into what fans can expect from her portrayal of the beloved comic book character, promising a performance that is both unique and true to the film's vision.

"You know, my version of Harley is mine, and it's very authentic to this movie and these characters," Gaga shared enthusiastically, adding, "I've never done anything like this before, so it's all going to be completely brand new and really fun."

Gaga's portrayal of Harley Quinn will be seen alongside Joaquin Phoenix, who reprises his role as the enigmatic Joker.

Directed by Todd Phillips, Joker: Folie a Deux is set to hit theatres on October 4, offering a musical twist to the dark and gritty world of Gotham.

The film, a part of DC Elseworlds, stands apart from the ongoing universe being developed by Peter Safran and James Gunn at DC Studios.
