And the feeling is mutual.

“She easily slipped into that world. It’s not like she’s trying to be Harley Quinn from the comic books; she’s Lee in this world,” Phillips said of Gaga’s performance. Phoenix was also impressed with Gaga’s work ethic on set.

“I found her to be without ego and had such a fierce determination. She would get right in with us,” he said of Gaga, whose character finds love with Phoenix’s own Arthur Fleck in the sequel. “She understood that there had to be a rawness to the character. There’s not a lot of actors that are comfortable working in that way.”
