New Joker 2 set videos and photos reveal a behind-the-scenes look at Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn dancing with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.
Joker: Folie à Deux set video and photos shows Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn as she dances with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. Dancing and music were big parts of the original Joker, with the movie presenting a deeper look into Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck through the use of the art forms. Now, Joker: Folie à Deux takes that important aspect of the first film beyond, with the second Joker set to be a full-blown musical, adding one of the world’s most talented singers in Gaga, who debuts as the beloved comic book character Harley Quinn.

A new Joker: Folie à Deux set video shared by WHOOPSEE & Radio DEEJAY on Instagram, as well as photos shared by Variety, offer a good look at Gaga’s Harley Quinn dancing with Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck on the iconic staircase from the original Joker.
Gaga’s Harley Quinn is dancing and singing in what appears to be one of Joker: Folie à Deux‘s musical set pieces. However, things take a turn when police officers come running down the stairs in her direction, only to ignore Harley and seemingly arrest the Joker, who is off-screen in the video. In another bit of footage, the Joker gets violent with Harley, angrily shaking her.

What The Joker 2 Set Video & Photos Reveal Of The Story
The photos and video from Joker: Folie à Deux give a good idea of some plot points that will be present in the anticipated sequel. First off, Harley Quinn on the Joker stairs is a sight to behold, with the iconic location from the first movie making a return in what appears to be a pivotal scene. The sequel’s set video and photos tease Phoenix’s Joker getting arrested on the same steps he danced alone after finally embodying his Joker persona in the first movie, but this time, he’s got the company of Gaga’s Harley Quinn.
The Joker’s arrest is likely tied to the set photos and videos of Arkham Asylum on fire, which hinted at the Joker and Harley Quinn planning a riot in order to escape the facility. A recent rumor about the plot of Joker: Folie à Deux claimed that Harley’s relationship with the Joker will take a different route from how the characters meet in the source material, with Harley being a patient at Arkham alongside Arthur Fleck, not meeting the Joker as his doctor, as the story usually goes.
The major change to Harley Quinn has been backed up by a newspaper pictured on the set of Joker: Folie à Deux, which revealed that Harley was indeed sent to Arkham as a patient. While that is going to be a big twist to how Harley and the Joker meet in the new movie, an important component of the relationship between the characters is going to continue. The new set video from Joker: Folie à Deux showed Phoenix’s Joker getting violent with Harley, shaking her aggressively, which reveals their well-known toxic relationship will be in full effect in the movie.
