The news of Jared Leto officially coming back as Joker is stirring up the internet. The major comeback is said to be part of a new DCEU product featuring the Justice League.
In 2016, Leto played the Clown Prince of Gothan in the Suicide Squad movie that earned high revenue and got an Academy Award.
The Joker is among the most iconic villains ever in comic book history, who has been portrayed incredibly well by Heath Ledger, Jack Nicholson, and Joaquin. Each of them has left their own impression on the audience with their performance as Batman’s life-long enemy.
The Joker portrayed by Jared Leto was modified to a crime lord and a manic gangster, featuring green hair and tattoos. This portrayal got mixed reactions from fans with many believing that the caliber actor deserved a second chance to fight for the Jester of Genocide.
The request has finally got a response as The Hollywood Reporter released an exclusive report saying that Jared Leto has joined The Snyder Cut, one of the most awaited versions of the Justice League.
Fans are eager to forget about the mess of Joss Whedon in 2017 after Snyder was forced to leave the project before it was completed.
The movie is currently advertised as a definitive edition, in tune with the trademark style of Zack Snyder and his vision. Since the news about Jared Leo’s comeback went viral, the internet has been responding enthusiastically.
After it became official that Robert Pattinson would take up the cowl in the upcoming Batman film, people had lots of speculation about the future of Ben Affleck’s Batman. With Ben Affleck, Batman was portrayed with an older image, and this was anticipated to continue until Robert Pattinson was chosen as the younger Bruce Wayne. But Affleck will also come back on HBO Max with The Snyder Cut.
This suggests a historic clash between Jared Leto’s Joker and Affleck’s Batman that has been teased for some time.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the shooting has already started and there will be a 4-episode event in 2021.
