THR had earlier reported that after playing crime lord in Suicide Squad (2016), Jared Leto thought that Warners would do a stand-alone Joker film with him. However, the makers gave a nod to Todd Phillips’ Joker starring Joaquin.
The report also mentions that Leto won’t be seen as Joker in DC films anymore. The actor won’t be reprising the role for Warners’ upcoming DC film titled Birds of Prey. The film is a spinoff on Robbie’s Harley Quinn. He isn’t even a part of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad 2 which will be out in 2021.
A person involved in this situation told the portal, “How do you play the Joker you established following [Phoenix]? It kind of ends his Joker run.”
