‘Joker 2’ Musical Details Revealed: At Least 15 Cover Songs, Original Tracks May Be Added (EXCLUSIVE)
"Joker 2," with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, will be a jukebox musical — no original songs are expected to be in the DC Comics film.
Insiders privy to filming and early versions of Todd Phillips’ eagerly awaited sequel to “Joker” tell Variety the movie leans heavily towards being “mostly a jukebox musical,” as it integrates at last 15 reinterpretations of “very well-known” songs. Phoenix clinched the best actor award for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck, a mentally ill party clown who makes his transformation into the famed DC villain. Gaga, a 13-time Grammy winner, has made a successful transition to Hollywood, evident in her Oscar win for co-writing the original song “Shallow” (alongside Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and Anthony Rossomando) for Bradley Cooper’s critically acclaimed “A Star is Born” remake in 2018.
