Jared Leto Responds To Reports That He'll Play 'The Joker' In SUICIDE SQUAD

It was recently revealed that Jared Leto is in talks to join the cast of Suicide Squad as The Joker. In the following video, he all but confirms that talks have taken place, but doesn't seem in a rush to take on another acting gig after his recent Oscar win for Dallas Buyers Club...

Is Jared Leto The Joker? Based on his reaction after being asked about that, I'd say he's definitely in talks for the role in David Ayer's Suicide Squad! However, the actor - who nabbed an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club - doesn't seem too bothered about whether or not he stars in another movie in the near future due to the other projects he's working on. Leto's use of that famous Fight Club line is a good way of deflecting the question however, and his refusal to comment on the role itself is probably a decent indication that he's met Warner Bros. What do you guys think?

He'd make an excellent Joker. WB needs to finalize this ASAP.

Yes, I'm playing the Joker. Also, yes, I believe that Dr Matt Taylor was wrong for wearing that shirt. It sends a wrong message to young girls everywhere. It says to them "you're a sex object that needs to focus on making babies and sandwiches."


Leto should keep his political opinions to himself.

You gotta love how WB has never miscast the Joker. Nicholson was amazing, Ledger was amazing, Leto would be amazing.
