30 Seconds To Mars front man Jared Leto has had a hugely successful film career, and one of his more talked-about performances was in ‘Suicide Squad’ playing the crown prince of crime, the Joker. With the upcoming origin story based film on the character featuring Joaquin Phoenix in the psychotic role, many thought Leto’s time in the makeup was done. Well, actually Leto says there is still a possibility of him playing the DC comics villain again.
“I would definitely play the Joker again,” Leto says in an interview this week with Variety. “It all depends on the script and the circumstances as it always does.”
Though ‘Suicide Squad’ had some box office success, it got mixed reviews. Warner Bros is planning a sequel for the rag tag squad but the Joker character is not expected to appear.
There was quite a bit of development on whether or not Leto would get his own movie playing his demented take on the Joker, but plans for that fell through.
