Over A Decade Later, Faith Hilling Remains A Powerful South Park Reference
Shortly following the news of a Joker sequel already being in production, rumors begin to swirl that premiere music icon and antic-fueled powerhouse Lady Gaga is in talks to not only join the movie but help it in becoming a musical.
The news hit social media like a freight train, instantly derailing prior conversations and demanding the attention of fans of the original, or fans of Lady Gaga herself. As eloquently stated by numerous online, there doesn't seem to be an obvious overlap between fans of the Joker movie and fans of Gaga, with a subsect of fans who liked the darker tone and don't see how a musical will translate well being somewhere in between.
Lady Gaga is in talks to star as Harley Quinn in ‘JOKER 2’.

Deciding to cast Lady Gaga and making Joker 2 a musical in the knowledge it’ll simultaneously win over some of your most cynical critics but make the thousands of dudes who were the biggest worshippers of your first movie furious is such a wild manoeuvre it’s kinda brilliant

A Joker sequel that’s a musical with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn is going to be a cultural reset.

Fans of the pop star have started to scour the web for any hints or clues about whether the rumors are true, or whether Gaga has had this whole thing planned for quite a while.
Leading up to the Oscars, Gaga reportedly watched through Joker, American Psycho and I, Tonya, movies that would definitely help with getting into the role of Harley Quinn. This, along with getting snubbed at the Oscars for two movies that many believe she was deserving of accolades for, has led to many calling this her Joker Arc in a literal sense.

The Academy said no to an Oscar for Lady Gaga on A STAR IS BORN and then again on HOUSE OF GUCCI and now she’s done playing games and going for the sure thing: starring in a JOKER movie

Margot Robbie is the perfect Harley Quinn but that’s what great about DC:
We can get multiple great performances of the same character in different ways. With Joker 2 being a musical you already know Lady Gaga is about to crush it!— Matt Ramos (@therealsupes) June 14, 2022
While the casting may or may not happen, some were quick to point to how funny it would be, especially when looking at the potential jokes that are possible based on previous works in her career.
