The online chatter on the Telegram channel Kinocracy centers on new material from the Joker project, highlighting a video that captures Lady Gaga dancing on a staircase while scenes from Joker 2 were being filmed. The clip shows Gaga moving up the stairs with her hair loose, wearing a fur coat paired with black ankle boots. This look mirrors the iconic moment from the first film where Joaquin Phoenix moved in a similar outfit, underscoring a deliberate visual echo that fans immediately noticed.
Earlier posts had already sparked interest by circulating images and clips that put Gaga in Harley Quinn makeup. In those early glimpses, her hair was back-combed and she wore a bright red jacket, projecting a striking, mottled aesthetic that fans quickly associated with the popular DC character. At the same time, Todd Phillips, the director, clarified that Gaga’s Harley Quinn appearance had not yet begun to shoot and that the specific block of production featuring her would be scheduled separately, ensuring that audiences understood the process behind the evolving look.
Joker: Two Man Madness, directed by Phillips, kicked off production in December of the previous year. The project stars Joaquin Phoenix alongside Lady Gaga, with supporting roles filled by Brendan Gleeson and Zazie Beetz. The film’s release date was slated for October 4, 2024, positioning it as a highly anticipated continuation for fans of the franchise, eager to see how the new dynamics between the characters unfold on screen.
A separate video that circulated online showed a scene during a shoot for the second Joker installment in which Phoenix’s character is seen fleeing from two individuals, one of whom is dressed as the Joker himself. That sequence contributed to the growing buzz about the film’s tone and the interplay between the returning star and Gaga in a fresh, high-stakes narrative context.
