Todd Phillips explains why a Joker: Folie à Deux scene with Lady Gaga‘s Harley Quinn kissing another woman didn’t make the final cut.
Paparazzi photos from the set of the Warner Bros. film in New York City from March 2023 featured the singer locking lips with a woman.
The scene happens when Harley arrives at the courthouse to support Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck. As Harley walks up the courthouse steps, a heckler catches her attention and kisses her. “It had dialogue in it, and, all of a sudden, I wanted it to be more of a music and vibe moment,” Phillips said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly about the improvised scene. “For that moment to have played, it needed dialogue behind it.
Meaning, the woman said something, and then Gaga stopped and did this thing, and it just kind of got in the way of the moment.” Gaga took on the role of Harley Quinn following many character iterations in animated versions and Margot Robbie’s take in the DC Extended Universe.
