Joker 2 Cast: All Reappearing and New Characters
Oct. 1, 20241. Joaquin Phoenix
The most talked about cast for Joker 2 is Lady Gaga playing the role of Harley Quinn. In all honesty, I never imagined she could play such a role but now since it is happening, I am quite intrigued to watch where this goes. It has already been confirmed that Joker 2 is going to be a partial musical where we will get to see the cover versions of some pretty cool old-school songs. Considering that, the casting of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in Joker 2 makes sense. So, let’s wait and see where this goes
Now we don’t know a lot about Steve Coogan’s role in Joker 2 but the trailer for this movie suggests that he will be playing the role of a psychiatrist who is assigned to Arthur for the assessment of his mental health. Now the interesting thing here is that during Joker’s time in Arkham, the psychiatrist assigned to him was Harleen Quinzel who fell in love with him and became Harley Quinn. This new cast as Arthur’s doctor makes me believe even more strongly that they have twisted the origin of Harley Quinn in this movie.
Well, if this turns out to be true, I hope they did a really good job at creating a new origin because being a comic-book geek myself, we don’t like filmmakers messing up the origin stories of our favorite characters.
Harvey Dent has been quite a major role player in the streets of Gotham, initially as a public prosecutor and then as Two-Face. While it was speculated thatHarvey Dent might appear in Joker 2, the trailer has confirmed it. In Joker 2, we will get to see Harry Lawtey take up the role of Harvey Dent but I am pretty certain that in this movie, we will not see the Two-Face version of him but the prosecutor who will be appearing in court against Arthur. As of now, we can’t say for sure if we will see Harry Lawtey’s Harvey Dent in further DC Elseworlds projects but let’s wait and see what happens.
