The Suicide Squad director opened up about how creepy and terrifying Leto looked on set as well.
Leto doesn’t mention Nicholson or Ledger by name in the story, but by using the phrase “hallowed ground,” it’s fair to assume that’s what Leto is referring to.
We’ve known for some time now that Leto has taken the role very seriously, and his latest comments only give more credence to those earlier assertions.
There seems to be a lot riding on Leto’s portrayal, but he’s saying all the right things right now.
