Jared Leto On Whether He'll Play Joker Again In Future DC Movie
As Jared Leto is about to bring Morbius to life in cinema, the former Suicide Squad and Justice League actor talks about whether or not he'd ever play Joker again in the DCEU. After COVID-19 related delays, Leto is less than a month away from returning to the comic book genre in Morbius, the latest installment in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Similar to Venom, Morbius takes the iconic Spider-Man baddie into the anti-hero route as Marvel's famous Living Vampire makes his live-action debut. However, prior to his Marvel gig, Leto had already familiarized himself with the superhero genre through the DCEU.
Many actors have brought the Joker to life in various live-action projects over the decades, with Leto being one of them. As Warner Bros. was getting the DCEU up and running, the actor/musician landed the role of Batman's famous archnemesis in 2016's Suicide Squad. Prior to all the BTS drama that happened before and after the release of 2017's Justice League, the studio had plans to have Leto's iteration star in his own Joker film and other DCEU projects. Instead, Joaquin Phoenix starred in a Joker origin story outside the DCEU while Leto's incarnation was phased out.

In response, Leto is leaving the door wide open for Warner Bros. to give him a call, stating that he would never want to turn down the opportunity to play a character that he gets attached to, including Joker.
