Another DC star has seemingly migrated to Marvel. A rumor online has suggested that a Joker 2 star could make her MCU debut.
According to the scooper MyTimeToShineHello, Lady Gaga has reportedly joined the MCU in an undisclosed role. The singer was cast as a version of Harley Quinn in the Joker: Folie à Deux, directed by Todd Phillips.
It has been previously reported by the same source that the singer met with Kevin Feige for a discussion regarding a possible role in the franchise.
Who could Lady Gaga be playing in the MCU if the rumor is true?
If the rumor is true, there are a slew of characters that Lady Gaga could play in the MCU. Marvel’s current slate of upcoming films could offer clues about which character she might play. If the character is to appear in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars, it is possible that she would be playing a variant of an established character.
However, if she is looking to appear in the films announced for 2028, i.e., Black Panther III, X-Men, and Ghost Rider, Lady Gaga could be playing a slew of characters that have yet to appear in the MCU. The obvious answer seems to be the mutant Dazzler, who is famously a pop star in the Marvel canon and could appear in X-Men. It is unclear which character she could play in Black Panther 3.
Lady Gaga could essay the role of Roxanne Simpson, a character previously played by Eva Mendes. Given that Mephisto has already been introduced in the MCU, Marvel could potentially explore Roxanne’s comic-book connection to his son, Blackheart, in a future Ghost Rider movie.
There is always a possibility that Lady Gaga might be playing an original character in the MCU, of which there are plenty. Several notable MCU side characters were created specifically for the franchise, including Darcy Lewis, Phil Coulson, and Luis.
