Many fans of Lady Gaga have expressed disappointment on social media following the release of “Joker: Folie à Deux” as it appears a few scenes Gaga shot for the film did not end up making it into the final theatrical cut.

They then showed two shots from the trailers which didn’t make the final film, as well as a fan recording of a public set. The public set showed Lee, Gaga’s version of Harley Quinn, kissing a random member of the public on her way into court to support Arthur (aka the Joker).

Lady Gaga discussed this subject while explaining how the movie inspired her new album Harlequin, which collects reimagined covers that she and Phoenix sing in Joker, as well as two original songs. The singer-songwriter and star of movies like A Star is Born and House of Gucci started off by telling EW:

The singer, who announced that she will be dropping the first single from her forthcoming seventh studio album next month, just announced “Harlequin,” a soundtrack album titled to the forthcoming film “Joker :Folie et Deux,” in which she stars with Joaquin Phoenix.

Lady Gaga has announced a brand new album called Harlequin, with the project serving as a companion piece to Joker: Folie à Deux. The upcoming movie, a sequel to the 2019 film, sees Joaquin Phoenix reprise his role as Arthur Fleck, with the character meeting Harleen ‘Lee’ Quinzel (Gaga) during his stint at Arkham State Hospital.

Todd Phillips said the bit would have taken place before a court appearance by Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) in the sequel that posted disappointing results over the weekend.

Director Todd Phillips said he wanted the scene to be "more of a music and vibe moment" instead Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Lady Gaga on the set of 'Joker: Folie a Deux' in New York City on March 26,

Lady Gaga once sang, “I wanna kiss you.” She channeled that energy into Joker: Folie à Deux, where her character, Harley “Lee” Quinn, shared a kiss with another woman. However, the scene ended up being nixed from the final cut.
