Because of this, he was reportedly bitter when he wasn’t casted for Todd Philipps’ critically acclaimed film ‘Joker’, which starred Joaquin Phoenix, to the point where he tried to cancel the movie.
But now, the spotlight is back on him as his wish to become the Joker once again has come true.
Welcome back, Jared!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman is set to appear in Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’ cut.
Leto has reportedly joined the shooting of additional footages and scenes for the ‘Snyder Cut’ – the filmmaker’s version of the 2017 superhero film that he was forced to exit and never saw through completion.
The project, overseen by HBO Max, will be titled ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ and is set to debut in 2021 in a four-episode series.
Filming has reportedly started involving Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher, Amber Heard, and of course, Jared Leto.
Since he wasn’t involved in the 2017 film, it will be interesting to see how big of a role an impact will he play in the ‘Snyder Cut’.
The 48-year-old may be laughing on his way to the set now, but sadly, he will not reprise his role for James Gunn’s version of ‘Suicide Squad’.
Nevertheless, we are pretty sure fans are looking forward to see ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ next year.
