When Will Smith stopped by the Beats 1 radio show to promote his big music comeback, for which he released his first new track in ten years, the Oscar-nominated actor also discussed his role as Deadshot in the "insane" Suicide Squad. More specifically, the Fresh Prince talked about his co-star and fellow musician/actor Jared Leto, who plays the Joker in the DC Comics adaptation.

"I've never actually met Jared Leto," admitted Smith. "We worked together for 6 months and we've never exchanged a word outside of 'Action!' and 'Cut!' We've never said 'Hello,' we've never said 'Good day.' I've only ever spoken to him as Deadshot and him as the Joker. I literally have not met him yet. So, the first time I see him will be 'Hey, Jared. What's up?' Not a single word exchanged off camera. He was all in on the Joker... I'm looking forward to meeting him."

Will Smith is certainly referring to Jared Leto's method acting, which a few other Suicide Squad stars have mentioned in previous interviews. Leto even sent a rat to co-star Margot Robbie in the vein of the Joker. Hopefully, he delivers something truly special on-screen. What do YOU think?


Directed by David Ayer from his script, Suicide Squad stars Will Smith (Deadshot), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag), Jared Leto (the Joker), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Boomerang),
Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Jessie Eisenberg (Lex Luthor), and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), with Raymond Olubawale (King Shark), Jay Hernandez, Ike Barinholtz, Jim Parrack, Adam Beach, and Scott Eastwood. The film releases on August 5, 2016!

So crazy and awesome. Actors are [frick]ing weird man... But I appreciate a great performance. Bring it

Seriously, though. Method actors must be such a pain in the ass. I could never imagine working with Daniel Day Lewis.

I'm certain that his portrayal of Joker will be awesome in the true meaning of the word. Also, I'm pretty sure his performance will be the live incarnation of Endgame Joker.

@Dandy FURY deserved a hell of a lot of Oscar nominations, Shia especially for best supporting actor. The problem was that the studio didn't campaign for it

I have no doubt in my mind that Leto is going to give us one of the best performances we've ever seen in a comic book movie. That man gives every role 100%

God! I need more on how Leto portrays the Joker!!



Is this going to be good or not?!?....man...the trailer is like a tiny peek, not enough to make a good judgment call on. At least for me.

How was MoS such a miss with how incredible everything else has looked from the fledgling DCEU? BvS and Suicide Squad both look absolutely amazing.

Was it really all Goyer's fault?

@MercwithMouth I don't think it was a miss. It was good, it just had its downs with Goyer dragging it with his lifeless corpse
