Jared Leto Joker CUT from Suicide Squad reboot – Replaced by Joaquin Phoenix?

He may have played the eternally gurning and grinning Joker, but it’s hard not to sense how much Jared Leto wanted to be taken seriously The stories of his method acting on set were legendary. But much of his performance ended up on the cutting room floor, leaving the sense the audience never really got the chance to see what he could have done with the role. There had been hopes he would resurface in the upcoming Harley Quinn spin-off but these appear to have faded. Surely, then, he would be back in the Suicide Squad reboot? Apparently not.

The 2021 film is already a mixed bag of some returning stars and other recast roles.

Robbie is currently listed to return as Harley Quinn with Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flagg, Jai Cortney’s Captain Boomerang and Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller.

However, it seems Will Smith might be replaced by Idris Elba as Deadshot.

As for Leto’s Joker, could he really be replaced by Phoenix?
