Leto believed he would continue to play the Joker after Suicide Squad as late as 2017.
THR said that Jared Leto’s alleged frustration stemmed from his belief that Warner Bros. had misled him.
However, that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere — and James Gunn recently suggested the actor won’t be playing the Joker in his upcoming The Suicide Squad.
To make matters more complicated, at one point it seems that he was going to get a chance to reprise his role — Variety reported a Leto-led standalone Joker film was in the works in June of 2018.
