The photos
“Hoping your day is full of love,” wrote Todd, sharing the photos on his Instagram. Joaquin returns as the titular Joker while Lady Gaga plays Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn. In one of the photos, Gaga can be seen gazing into Joaquin’s eyes lovingly as he returns a barely-there smile. In another, he’s dipping her romantically on a terrace as a comic-style set forms the background. The only colour picture released by Todd sees Gaga in blue and Joaquin in his trademark suit.
Fans react
Numerous Gaga fans were thrilled to see the singer-actor drop pictures of her making music and the director release these stills the same day. “We are so back. LG7. Joker 2,” wrote an excited fan in all caps. “Joker 2 stills and 3 studio pics in 2 hr i-,” wrote another fan. Another proclaimed that the ‘Monster era’ was back in dominance, “gaga in the studio, joker 2 reveals, oh little monster era is back from dormancy.”
Another commented that they’ve “prayed for times like this.” One movie buff hoped that Joker 2 is a musical, completely disconnected from the first film, writing, “I hope, not that I think this will happen, that Joker 2 is just completely disconnected from the first one. Just a completely different story packed into a lavish, over the top, campy musical. That would rule.”

While specifics of the film aren’t known yet, the stills hint that the film will be a musical set in and around Arkham Asylum where Joker meets Harley for the first time. Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland and Harry Lawtey make up the supporting cast.
