‘Wednesday’ season 2 welcomes Lady Gaga to the cast
'Wednesday' follows the iconic Wednesday Addams as she navigates life at Nevermore Academy, solving mysteries while embracing her eerie, sarcastic personality.
Actor Brendan Gleeson will be seen sharing screen space with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in ‘Joker: Folie a Deux’.
The update has been shared by Variety. Todd Phillips, who directed Phoenix to an Oscar in 2019’s “Joker,” returns as director. But whereas the first film played like a comic book riff on Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver,” the follow-up is a musical, albeit more in the vein of “A Star is Born” than “West Side Story” or “Singing in the Rain.”
Warner Bros. and DC are backing the sequel. Production is expected to get underway this December. It is also unknown who Gleeson will be playing.

The movie was nominated for 11 Oscars including Best Picture and Phillips for Best Director, Deadline reported.
