Despite being advertised as one of Suicide Squad’s primary characters, The Joker didn’t get a lot of screen time in the third DC Extended Universe entry.
If he left this franchise, what would the studio’s options be for The Joker?
It’s since been reported that Jared Leto’s comments were taken out of context and exaggerated, and the post that originally passed them along has since been deleted.
The result was moviegoers barely got to know this version of the Clown Prince of Crime, and Jared Leto was understandably upset that so much of his performance was trimmed.
