Margot Robbie Is Not Happy With The Casting of Lady Gaga As Harley Quinn In 'Joker 2'?

Los Angeles, August 7 - The casting of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in Joker 2 seems to be not doing well with Margot Robbie who played this iconic DC role in many movies and made this one of the most popular on-screen characters.

Margot Robbie, who is currently working on, Barbie, is reportedly not happy after the House of Gucci actor bagged the lead role in Joker: Folie à deux. A source close to the actor told OK! Magazine (via Geo TV), "Lady Gaga playing Harley Quinn in the Joker sequel instead of Margot Robbie is a joke".



The casting of Gaga in the much-anticipated sequel came as a surprise to many in Hollywood, though her role in the movie was reportedly confirmed a long time back. It is said that Robbie is feeling nervous and insulted at the same time to get to know the fact that an attention seeker pop culture singer is replacing her to play Joker's sidekick and love interest.

"Every real actor in Hollywood should be nervous that they are going to be replaced with some pop culture phenomenon who hasn't paid their dues", the insider added. "Margot isn't angry about the choice; she is insulted. This isn't about casting the most talented person for the role, but rather casting someone who gets the most press attention".

Meanwhile, the sequel of this psychological thriller film will be hitting theaters on October 4, 2024. Joaquin Phoenix, who scored his first Oscar for playing Joker, will be reprising his role in Joker 2 with Todd Phillips returning to direct it.
