The photo shows Gaga as Quinn looking intensely and holding the face of the smiling Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) who has her backed up against a wall.

She is wearing little makeup, her blonde hair is pulled back and she is wearing a fuzzy mustard-yellow sweater.

Production on the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster is expected to begin in December.

Reportedly a musical set in Gotham City's Arkham Asylum, the movie is slated to open in theaters on Oct. 4, 2024.
