The response to Jared Leto's take on The Joker in Suicide Squad was mixed but the plan is still for him to reprise the role in at least a couple of upcoming DC Comics adaptations. During a recent chat with Collider, the Oscar-winning actor was asked about both Gavin O'Connor directing the Suicide Squad sequel and whether or not he'll be playing the Clown Prince of Crime in that and Joker/Harley Quinn.
While the actor has mentioned in the past that he's planning on returning to the DC Films Universe, he now doesn't sound 100% sure about that but does have plenty of good things to say about O'Connor.
"A lot of moving parts, we’ll see what happens," Leto replied. "I think Gavin is incredibly talented, he seems to be the perfect director for Suicide Squad 2. I think he’s a really gifted filmmaker and I really love his work." Warner Bros. could easily recast the villain but it seems nothing is set in stone and the fate of both Leto's Joker and the movies mentioned above is unclear now. Hopefully, that changes!
