But, there *was* that very interesting report indicating Lady Gaga may be joining the film as Harley Quinn. According to Variety, “Joker: Folie à Deux” will hit theaters October 4th, 2024.

The film, which was to star Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl, had some pretty big cameos planned. Things like…oh, Michael Keaton returning as Batman, stuff like that. Adil El Arbi and Bilall…
