Some actors have made certain roles in pop culture iconic, making it difficult to imagine anyone else filling those shoes. The Joker is one such character, portrayed by various live-action and voice actors, including the award-winning Joaquin Phoenix. With Joker 2 in the works, it seems that Lady Gaga will be joining the roster as Harley Quinn, a role previously played by Margot Robbie. Fans are left wondering if Lady Gaga can bring a fresh level of insanity to the character that matches Robbie’s portrayal.

Margot Robbie Welcomes Lady Gaga to the Role
Despite being seen as the definitive Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie is reportedly ready to welcome Lady Gaga into the fold and has no issue with passing the baton. It’s surprising, as one might assume that actors who have played a role for multiple features would be protective of their character. However, it’s important to remember that no matter how great an actor is in a role, there will always be new talent that could potentially surpass their performance. Will Lady Gaga fit that bill? Only time will tell.
A Different Harley Quinn for Joker 2
The Harley Quinn we’ve seen on the big screen has been wildly chaotic and colorful, so it’s natural to wonder how Lady Gaga will approach the role. While some may doubt her readiness, there’s no harm in trying. Lady Gaga has proven herself as a talented actress in movies and TV shows like American Horror Story, earning the trust of many fans.
Lady Gaga’s Acting Skills Shouldn’t Be Underestimated
While some may still question her acting abilities, Lady Gaga has demonstrated her talent in various projects. Acting alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Joker 2 could further solidify her status as a respected actress.
It’s Not a Competition Between Lady Gaga and Margot Robbie
Comparing Lady Gaga’s performance to Margot Robbie’s is not productive, as each actor brings their unique interpretation to the role. Lady Gaga has impressed audiences with her music and acting career, and with enough dedication, she could portray Harley Quinn in a way that complements Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. We have until 2024 to see how this collaboration unfolds, leaving plenty of room for speculation.
