Joker: Folie à Deux star Lady Gaga sheds more light on her character, Harley Quinn, in the anticipated sequel.

Harley Quinn fans are eager to see what Stefani “Lady Gaga” Germanotta will bring to the role in Joker: Folie à Deux, the highly anticipated sequel to the titular Oscar-winning film. One new wrinkle Harley will feature in the film, according to the Grammy-winning musician, is a new name.

Speaking with E! News on the red carpet during the premiere of her concert film, Chromatica Ball, Germanotta was asked about the differences her version of Harley will feature compared to others. Germanotta confirmed that not only will she put a fresh spin on the character, but Harley will also have a new name, Lee. “I just had a brilliant time. My version of Harley Quinn is ‘Lee,’” Gaga said. “In a lot of ways, I think this is going to be a very different Lee for people, and I’m excited for them to see the story we wanted to tell.”

Germanotta didn’t clarify whether Lee is a nickname or her real name, with previous reports claiming she wanted to be referred to as Lee on set during shooting. Starring opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, Germanotta expressed excitement about Folie à Deux and recalled her time during production of the Warner Bros. blockbuster. “You know, it was a really beautiful experience,” she said. “I had the most amazing creative time and I always feel so lucky when I get to be creative every day, all day long. This movie has music in it, incredible actors in it, and a wonderful director [in] Todd Phillips.”

The “Born This Way” singer insisted she portrayed Harley her way, telling Access Hollywood during the premiere that her version of the popular villain is a “vulnerable, sweet person” and as “authentic” as it gets. Folie à Deux is arguably Germonatta’s most important big-screen feature yet, having previously featured in Machete Kills, A Star Is Born and House of Gucci.

Once Germanotta was confirmed as Harley for Folie à Deux, inevitable comparisons were coming as the character has been voiced by Tara Strong and Kaley Cuoco in the past, while Margot Robbie notably portrayed Harley in the now-extinct DC Extended Universe, featuring in Suicide Squad, The Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey. Despite Robbie and Lady Gaga’s version of Harley being constantly compared, and with speculation of whether the latter will play Harley beyond Folie à Deux, Robbie revealed in January she hadn’t spoken to Germanotta about her casting.

The Joker Sequel Is Described as a Jukebox Musical

Described as a jukebox musical, Folie à Deux sees Phoenix’s central character in Arkham Asylum, where he meets Harleen Quinzel and falls madly in love, leading to complete chaos. The story takes inspiration from how Harley was introduced in Batman: The Animated Series, following up on the 2019 original which won Phoenix the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker. Folie à Deux, which will feature under the DC Elseworlds banner, also stars Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener.
