Folie à Deux sounds like it’s gonna be a wild musical ride. The sequel to Joaquin Phoenix‘s hit flick, Joker, is gonna jam out with at least 15 big-name tunes, according to Variety.
Having loads of famous songs suggests it will be more relaxed than the first. Instead, it’s gonna rock a musical vibe, giving us a fresh take on the Joker’s crazy world. Composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, known for her incredible music, will put her spin on these classic tracks. And the word is, there might even be a brand-new song in the mix, getting fans hyped up even more.
One of the solid tracks in the mix is “That’s Entertainment,” a classic tune by Judy Garland from the 1953 musical “The Band Wagon.” This pick hints at an Old Hollywood vibe, echoing the visual flair teased in the film’s trailer. It suggests that “Joker: Folie à Deux” might blend musical flavors from various eras into a seamless and captivating soundtrack. Oh, and let’s not forget about Lady Gaga’s take on Harley Quinn.
Margot Robbie, who previously rocked Harley Quinn, is pumped about Lady Gaga snagging the role. She’s all about how it’s excellent for iconic female characters to get passed around to different actors, like how Batman or Macbeth are played by other folks. Robbie’s feeling proud ’cause she feels like Gaga taking over is a nod to her excellent work with the character. She can’t wait to see Gaga bring her A-game to the role.
