Margot Robbie is opening up about Lady Gaga taking on the Harley Quinn role in the Joker sequel alongside Joaquin Phoenix. Joker: Folie à Deux is reportedly a musical and the Born This Way crooner will play the villain Robbie has portrayed in three different films: Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad.
“It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning, all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way like Macbeth or Batman always gets passed from great actor to great actor,” Robbie told MTV News while promoting her new film Amsterdam.
Quinn went on to say that she doesn’t feel like female characters have that same honor although she did acknowledge she was able to portray Queen Elizabeth I after Cate Blanchett.
“It’s such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing,” she added. “I think she’ll do something incredible with it.”
Back in August, Gaga shared a teaser on social media confirming her casting on Joker: Folie à Deux opposite Phoenix. The Joker sequel will be directed by Todd Phillips and is scheduled to premiere on October 4, 2024.
Other actors set to star in the DC Comics film include Catherine Keener, Brendan Gleeson and Zazie Beetz.
As of now, the premise of the sequel has been kept under wraps but Phillips and Scott Silver have teamed up again for the follow-up film.

While tentpoles resuscitated moviegoing this past summer with pics like Top Gun: Maverick, it’s true that the more, adult-skewing fare is having a much harder time now. No where was this more true than with David O. Russell’s Amsterdam which rivals believed had a shot at opening to $12M-$15M this past weekend based on the period absurdist comedy’s glossy ensemble of Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Rami Malek, Robert De Niro, Anya Taylor Joy, Taylor Swift, Michael Shannon (the list doesn’t stop…).
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Ticket to Paradise,” a romantic comedy that reunites Julia Roberts and George Clooney, is (surprise, surprise) charming audiences at the international box office. The movie has generated $60 million overseas to date, a promising start given the current challenges facing theatrical rom-coms. Of course, it helps when the genre gets a boost from megawatt stars like Roberts and Clooney. According to Universal, which is backing the film, “Ticket to Paradise” is outpacing recent meet-cute stories like “The Lost City,” “Last Christmas” and “Crazy Rich Asians” at the same point in their respective big-screen rollouts. Over the weekend, “Ticket to Paradise” earned $10.5 million from 61 territories, including debuts in France ($1 million), Mexico ($1 million) and Italy ($800,000). In holdover markets, “Ticket to Paradise,” which features Clooney and Roberts as exes who try to stop their daughter from marrying a near stranger, has been popular in Australia ($8.5 million), the United Kingdom and Ireland ($7.4 million) and Germany ($7.4 million). It opens Oct. 21 in the U.S. and Canada.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter David O. Russell’s star-studded period drama “Amsterdam” collapsed in its box office debut, earning an anemic $6.5 million from 3,005 North American theaters. The movie, which cost $80 million to produce, couldn’t overcome bad reviews and minimal buzz and is shaping up to be one of the biggest misfires of the year. This weekend’s other newcomer “Lyle Lyle Crocodile” also fell short of expectations with $11.5 million from 4,350 cinemas in its opening weekend. However, Sony’s animated family film, an adaptation of the popular children’s book about an anthropomorphic reptile (who sings!) voiced by Shawn Mendes, won’t be as painful for the studio given its $50 million price tag.
During an interview for her new movie “Amsterdam” with MTV News, Robbie was asked for her thoughts on her fellow Oscar-nominated actress taking over a role she helped launch to new heights in a pair of “Suicide Squad” films and the spinoff “Birds of Prey.” Not only did Robbie give Gaga her blessing, but she also said that she wants Harley to have a long list of famous actors to play her the same way Batman and Joker do.“It makes me so happy,” Robbie said, “because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters the way … like Macbeth or Batman always gets passed from great actor to great actor. Someone gets to do their Batman, or someone gets to do their Macbeth.”Robbie continued: “I feel like, in not so many cases, are there female characters — Queen Elizabeth I, but beyond that, which I got to have a crack at as well, which I was honored to do.
Just recently, it was revealed that Lady Gaga will be starring in the upcoming Joker: Folie à Deux, as Harley Quinn.
Every role is designed for Leonardo DiCaprio, according to Christian Bale.
Amsterdam as David O. Russell wouldn’t call cut.The actor, starring in the American Hustle filmmaker’s new film alongside Christian Bale and John David Washington, spoke on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to explain that “technically, we didn’t ever really stop”.Robbie explained that the shoot went beyond the permit allowances while shooting in Pasadena, which forced the police forces to intervene.“You get a permit to shoot somewhere. We were in Pasadena and the time was up,” Robbie said.
Go back in time a few years and most mid-toned blondes would have cringed at having their hair called a “mousy blonde”. Now, the colour is a top trend – and largely thanks to Hailey Bieber.The model debuted it earlier this year and her look prompted many of us to swap our highlights for something a bit moodier in tone.
Christian Bale has said he had to stop talking to Chris Rock on the set of Amsterdam because he was too “bloody funny”.The Dark Knight actor said he had to start ignoring Rock after he started making him laugh on the set of the David O. Russell film, and Bale found he “couldn’t act”.“I remember his first day, I was excited to meet him, I’m a big fan of his standup,” Bale told IndieWire.
Christian Bale revealed the reason why he had to stop speaking to Chris Rock on the set of their upcoming movie, Amsterdam.
Margot Robbie "clung" to John David Washington on the set of Amsterdam because she was "scared" to work with director David O. Russell. The Australian actress stars as Valerie Voze in the upcoming period mystery comedy, which follows three friends who become the prime suspects in a murder in the 1930s.
Margot Robbie was left completely stunned after a Good Morning Britiain producer showed her his tattoo of her face on his back at the Amsterdam premiere on Wednesday night. The 32-year-old actress was lost for words when Ashley Whitt rolled up his top to reveal his Harley Quinn inking, moments after being interviewed by entertainment reporter Richard Arnold on the red carpet. Of course, Australian star Robbie has portrayed Harley Quinn in three films so far.
, around the world. Naturally, the perennially stylish movie star is providing a masterclass in red carpet glamor at the same time. For the London premiere of her mystery comedy, Robbie illustrated that an , when done right, can be anything but boring.The Oscar-nominated actor wore a black cut-out dress and a dramatic cape on the red—or, in this specific case, green—carpet.
