This year’s highly anticipated clown sequel, Clown: Pas de deux, Joaquin Phoenix returns as the famous crime prince and Batman villain. But this time, he’s not alone, as the sequel adds Harley Quinn, played by pop star and decorated actor Lady Gagathe upcoming DC movie. But if you’re expecting a sassy, gum-chewing, bat-wielding Harley with her signature accent and sass, well… I’ve got bad news.
Clown: Pas de deux, Will hit theaters on October 4th, Big musical sequel Todd Phillips 2019 clown. The film is a grittier, more realistic take on the famous Batman villain, with Phoenix playing a more tragic and broken version of the Joker than previously seen in live-action movies and TV. Phillips is trying to do something similar with Harley Quinn in the upcoming sequel.
in new interview typePhilips explains the genesis behind the sequel, why it’s a musical, and what it’s like working with Phoneix again on a new musical clown Movie. But he also talked about Harley Quinn, played by Gaga, explaining that his version of the character will be very different.
“We took away the high notes, the accents, the gum chewing, all those funky things in the comics,” Phillips said. “We wanted her to fit into the Gotham world we created from the first movie.”
in posted videos typePhillips further explained that Gaga is doing what Phoenix did with the Joker and creating her “own take” on the famous character.
“We try to respect the animated series, the comics, the movies, but present it through a very realistic lens as we do [in Joker,]” said Phillips. It should be noted that in Joker 2Harley Quinn is no longer a doctor in Arkham, but a patient, which is another big change.
Of course, many netizens are not satisfied with this. Although it is true in other respects batman The character has been portrayed in various ways over the years, and it does seem odd to throw out the entire basis of the character but keep her name. But then again, this is its own universe and has nothing to do with other DC movies or comics, so it makes sense that people involved in it would want to experiment and try new things. I’ll be curious to see if this experiment is worth it when the sequel comes out in October.
As for Joker 3Well, it sounds unlikely that Phillips will return, told type: “It’s fun to play two movies in a sandbox like this, but I think we’ve said what we wanted to say in this world.”
However, if this movie were also clowndon’t be surprised if Warner Bros. goes out and looks for someone else to direct the third installment. They’ll also likely throw as much money at Phoenix to get him back for another sequel.
