I am incredibly nervous about the upcoming movie in the Joker cinematic universe. For those of you who don’t know, the sequel to the hit 2019 film Joker will be called Joker: Folie à Deux. The highly anticipated movie will co-star Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, and get this…it’s going to be a musical. 

I love musicals, so when I heard this news, I was more than stoked. Joker is already such a heightened and unrealistic movie anyways, I don’t think that adding some Judy Garland covers is going to take us out of it. Besides, it’s not going to be a 1950s musical or, worse, a Tom Hooper situation. It’s going to be evocative of a gritty 70s musical, which is way cooler and sexier than most superhero movies. For all of you film bros out there who are sweating this decision, don’t doubt the Joker franchise. People doubted it once before, and look what happened.
