In the latest Hollywood buzz, rumors have swirled that two of the most iconic stars of Joker: Folie à Deux, Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, are not happy with the final cut of the highly anticipated sequel. Fans are eagerly awaiting the film, but insiders hint at behind-the-scenes tension that could shake things up.
Joker: Folie à Deux promises to be a chaotic musical thriller. But, insiders say Lady Gaga, who plays Harley Quinn, and Phoenix, reprising his role as the Joker are not happy. They have voiced concerns over how the film turned out. Some sources claim that both stars had envisioned a darker, grittier tone, but the final cut took a different direction. Perhaps leaning too much into the musical elements or deviating from the grim atmosphere that made the first film a hit.
Phoenix, known for his method acting and intense involvement, allegedly felt that the character arc of Arthur Fleck, was diluted. Gaga, no stranger to theatrical performances, was reportedly expecting something more aligned with her raw, powerful portrayal of the iconic Harley Quinn. Could the musical direction of the film have created creative differences?
Although, the drama doesn’t end there. Reports suggest that both the stars had private discussions with director Todd Phillips. They have expressed their disappointment and hoping for changes before the film’s release. However, with the film’s premiere date fast approaching, substantial changes may be unlikely, and this rumoured discontent could affect how the film is received.
Joker: Folie à Deux is one of the most anticipated films of 2024, but with alleged tensions between the stars and the creative team, fans are left wondering if this could spell trouble for its success. Will the behind-the-scenes drama overshadow the brilliance of the performances? Only time will tell.
