After the historic success of the first film in the saga, “Joker 2” did not obtain the expected reception. A surprise difficult to accept for Lady Gaga, who plays the role of Lee Quinzel in the film.
In addition to the disappointing first results at the box office, “Joker: Folie à deux” did not escape a barrage of criticism. Whether on specialized sites or on social networks, it is difficult to escape the strong opinions against Todd Phillips’ film, as Lady Gaga was able to observe.
“She put a lot of heart into this film”
To his great dismay, “Joker 2” was not the success he had hoped for. As revealed by the Daily Mail, the singer-actress would have a hard time with this lackluster reception. The film failed to achieve its box office goals and just received the worst rating for a film based on a comic book on CinemaScore.
A source close to Lady Gaga explains that she is “surprised that people don’t like the film, after the reviews it received before its release.” She even thought she could “obtain an Oscar nomination thanks to this film, especially after the success of the first and the Oscar won by Joaquin Phoenix.”
Lady Gaga’s entourage emphasizes that the actress “put a lot of heart into this film and has a lot of respect for DC Comics and its fans.” An investment which undoubtedly explains the difficult times that the American star is going through, terribly sad about the returns obtained by the film.
A role in a Tarantino to bounce back?
Lady Gaga is so depressed that those around her offer her numerous projects to help her clear her mind: “they want to move on to something else as quickly as possible.” The team is working on one project in particular, which would be the actress’s dream, “now, she would like to get a role in Quentin Tarantino’s next film, which will be the director’s last. No one knows what it will be about, but she wants to audition. She’s going to do everything to get a meeting with him once the script comes out, it’s definitely on her bucket list.
