Its no joke: Lady Gaga will be starring opposite Joaquin Phoenix in the sequel to Todd Phillips Oscar-winning blockbuster Joker.

The singer had previously been rumored to star in the sequel, Joker: Folie Deux, the title of which refers to a shared psychosis. She confirmed her participation on Thursday via a tweet that included the music of Irving Berlins Cheek to Cheek.

The original Joker movie came out in 2019. The sequel, set for release in October 2024, will reportedly be a musical which obviously plays to Gagas strengths.

Variety speculated that Gaga might play a version of the character Harley Quinn, but no one connected to the film has confirmed whether that character will be in the movie.

Margot Robbie has already played Harley Quinn in three films, but Phoenixs version of the Joker exists in a different continuity than the Joker in those movies (played by Jared Leto), so Gaga wouldnt be stepping on Robbies toes.
