Lady Gaga on May 23, 2024Lady Gaga is teasing what fans can expect from Joker: Folie à Deux.
The singer-actress, 38, spoke with Access Hollywood on the red carpet of her Gaga Chromatica Ball screening and dance party on May 23, teasing her work with Joaquin Phoenix on the upcoming sequel.
"My version of Harley is mine and it's very authentic to this movie and these characters, and I don't want to give anything from the movie away," she said. "I think it's really something you have to experience in the theater."
"This film has music, it has dance, it has amazing acting in it," she added. "I loved working with Joaquin, I loved working with [director] Todd [Phillips]. What I will say is that I've never done anything like I've done in this movie before, so it's all going to be completely brand new and really fun."
