The singer and actress plays a new version of Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux opposite Joaquin Phoenix, who won an Oscar for the original movie.

The pair seemingly meet and fall in love in Arkham Asylum before apparently escaping and forming a musical duo.

Director Todd Phillips said it isn't a musical, as had been rumoured, but that music is "an essential element".

Phoenix won an Oscar for best actor for his performance in 2019's Joker.
