News of the Joker Origin Movie caught many off guard, but apparently it shocked actor Jared Leto who already plays the character within the DCEU.
But another interesting piece of information in the article about the project came when it mentioned Jared Leto’s reaction to Warner Bros. making a standalone Joker movie without him portraying the villainous character.
This makes sense, but what doesn’t make sense is why Warner Bros. didn’t tell Leto about the origin project to begin with.
Leto has put himself into reinventing a character when all of the odds were stacked against him, which in turn benefitted Warner Bros. and the DCEU greatly.
