Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn makes Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker feel less ‘alone’ in ‘Folie à Deux’ trailer

Lady Gaga is making her long-awaited debut as Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscar-winning Joker in the first trailer for “Joker: Folie à Deux.”

Talk about a “bad romance.” Lady Gaga is making her long-awaited debut as Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix’s reprisal of his Oscar-winning Joker in the first trailer for “Joker: Folie à Deux” released on Tuesday. The teaser trailer begins with Phoenix’s cuffed and plain-faced Joker – whose name is Arthur Fleck – being escorted through a facility he’s being held in. As he walks through the corridor, his eyes catch Quinn’s as she stands in what appears to be a choir room. “I’m nobody,” Gaga’s Quinn later says, as she is seen miming a gun to her head and pulling the trigger. “I haven’t done anything with my life like you have.” The clip goes on to show sequences of the villainously-in-love pair waltzing around with each other on the street, dodging explosions, running from mobs and kissing each other through Fleck’s jail cell, all backed by a haunting rendition of the classic song “What the World Needs Now is Love.” “I’ll tell you what’s changed,” Fleck says at one point. “I’m not alone anymore.”
