Lady Gaga will likely take on her first supporting actress Oscar run for “Joker: Folie à Deux.” But how far can “Mother Monster” take a movie with such abysmal reviews? “Joker: Folie à Deux” picks up with Arthur Fleck (Phoenix),

Let's get the elephant-in-clown-makeup in the room out of the way first: Arthur dies at the end of Joker: Folie a Deux, meaning a third movie following the titular clown is very unlikely, if not impossible (unless they decide to go full surreal dream sequence on his deathbed, or a similarly 'out there' premise).

Lady Gaga is singing a different tune about playing Harleen “Lee” Quinzel in musical sequel “Joker: Folie à Deux.” Gaga told People that while characters have stuck with her long after wrapping previous films “A Star Is Born” (2018) and “House of Gucci” (2021), she is now “in a new place” with her approach to acting.
