Lady Gaga shoots for Joker 2 in key location that fans will instantly recall
Lady Gaga is filming for Joker 2 in New York City. In leaked set photos, she was captured on camera having a conversation with director Todd Philips.
Joker 2 is currently filming in The Bronx, New York City. New photos leaked from the set showed Lady Gaga, who is essaying the role of Harley Quinn in the upcoming film, shooting a scene on the iconic stairs. Fans will recall the location from Joker (2019) which had several scenes featuring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck on the stairs.
In one of the images, Gaga climbed up the stairs with a dejected look on her face. She wore a black dress, coat, and boots, as she looked behind her at something off-camera. She also carried a handbag on her shoulders. One of the scenes were shot during daytime while another one was filmed right at sunset, with street lamps on.
