Lady Gaga will portray Dr. Harleen Quinzell, more famously known as Harley Quinn, in Joker: Folie à Deux. The film is a sequel to Todd Phillips' 2019 film, Joker, which grossed over a billion dollars at the box office and landed 11 Oscars. Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor for his performance.

No stranger of Oscars herself, Lady Gaga received a Best Actress nomination for her role in A Star Is Born. She didn't win, but she did win Best Original Song for the film's song, “Shallow.”

Jenna Ortega is one of the stars in the world. Getting her big break on Jane the Virgin and Disney Channel's  Stuck in the Middle, she has since landed roles in You, Wednesday, and hosted Saturday Night Live.

On the film side, Ortega gave an acclaimed performance in The Fallout. In 2022, she starred in the fifth entry of the Scream franchise and returned for its sequel in 2023. Last year also saw her star in X, Studio 666, and American Carnage. She has plenty of projects coming up, one of which is the aforementioned and highly-anticipated Beetlejuice 2.
