The plot of the movie itself remains the topic of rumours and speculation since it has been kept under wraps till now. However, its characters and setting are becomingclearer as filming continues.

Insider KC Walsh recently revealed on Twitter that Harley Quinn's backstory is rumoured to receive one key change as Lady Gaga takes on the role. According to this rumour, Gaga will portray Harley as a patient at Arkham Asylum rather than as a psychiatrist assigned to treat him, as she typically does in her comic origins.

This also lends further to the rumour that Arkham Asylum will play a pivotal role in the film. The asylum is where fans last saw Phoenix's Arthur Fleck at the end of the original story.

The movie is being helmed by Todd Phillips and will bring back Phoenix as Joker. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga will step into the shoes ofHarley Quinn.

Joker: Folie a Deuxwill hit theatres on October 4, 2024.
