Another Untitled Joker Movie -- S: Jared Leto

https://variety.com/2018/film/news/j...os-1202831025/

Warner Bros. is looking to expand on Jared Leto’s version of the Joker, which debuted in 2016’s “Suicide Squad,” with a movie of his own.

Sources tell Variety that Leto is set to star and exec produce an untitled standalone film, paving the way for future movies branching from “Suicide Squad.”


Plot details are currently unknown, but the studio’s idea is to expand on the world created by “Suicide Squad” and tie into future installments of that property. Warner Bros. already announced that Margot Robbie’s version of Harley Quinn would be getting her own movie with a “Birds of Prey” feature, and the next goal was setting up a film for Leto’s Joker.

When Warner Bros. announced last fall that it was developing a Joker origin tale from Todd Phillips, the studio emphasized that this did not mean the end for Leto’s Joker. Rather, Phillips’ film would fall under a new origins banner that would be separate from the current cinematic DC universe. This new banner would allow multiple actors and versions based on the same character with no overlap, and WB has already tapped Joaquin Phoenix to star in Phillips’ Joker pic.

Leto’s Joker, as fans noted, was almost a glorified cameo in “Suicide Squad.” The Oscar-winner had made it clear following the film’s release that he hoped to expand on the character in future films in a more substantive, if not starring, role.

It’s currently unknown when this film would go into production, as Leto and the studio will now search for a writer. It’s also unclear if this film would shoot before or after the previously announced sequel to “Suicide Squad,” which is believed to go into production sometime in 2019.

Leto was most recently seen in “Blade Runner: 2049” and Netflix’s “The Outsider.” He is repped by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.

Honestly why? We need a second Joker movie that’s stand alone based on a version of the character most hated? How mismanaged is the crew running this shit?

As a DC fanboy I just can't get excited about any announcement anymore until I see a trailer.

And even in the theater I'll expect the manager to come out and say it's cancelled.

Why would we since this has about as high a probability of being made as nearly all the others that have been announced then cancelled.

I don’t know how the execs don’t realize how poorly they’re doing their jobs.

Yeah, it isn’t just this version of The Joker that’s the problem. It’s pretty much every damn thing they do. The DCEU is just a gigantic clusterfuck filled with shitty movies and a seemingly endless amount of films that are in development hell. Let’s just keep adding on to our list though, because a Jared Leto Joker movie is what the people really want. That’s going to get asses in seats. It’s pathetic and just reeks of not knowing how to handle these properties whatsoever. Just keep throwing shit at the wall because eventually something might stick even though we’re to five films and only one is agreed on as being any good. I wish WB would sell off DC because they clearly don’t know what they want to do with any of the properties and with this obviously can’t even gauge the wants of the viewers/fanbase.

Re: Another Untitled Joker Movie -- S: Jared Leto

DC needs to stop doubling down and just start over. You f**ked up. Stop trying to keep making your stupid movie universe work and admit you made a mistake. Marvel beat you. You tried to rush it. Start hiring talented writers/directors and start from scratch. I can't believe how badly they run their movie universe...They need to hit the brakes and take a step back...It might take years, but guess what??? It took Marvel years...They release Iron Man and then slowly took it from there...As much as I love Geoff Johns (his period of writing The Flash remains one of my favorite comic book runs), I almost want to say they need to let him go...DC just expects that they're going to almost instantly rival movies like The Avengers and whatnot but they're just not there...

Re: Another Untitled Joker Movie -- S: Jared Leto

I cant even watch Suicide squad again because of him. Easily the worst acted part in the movie. Could not pay me to watch this.

Re: Another Untitled Joker Movie -- S: Jared Leto

The only way I could get even remotely interested about a DCEU film about the Joker at this point is if the title of this read "Another Untitled Joker Movie -- S: Mark Hamill".

I have no faith in the DCEU no matter who they cast as Joker. Except for Mark Hamill. I've always wanted to see him get a shot at live action Joker. Thats about the only thing that could get money out of my wallet. Even if the movie sucked as bad as Suicide Squad it would be worth it just to see what he could do with the role in a live action setting.

Re: Another Untitled Joker Movie -- S: Jared Leto

I actually like SS more than most on this site but there is no need for this movie. He was the worst part of the movie PLUS based on all the issues behind the scenes and how it made people especially Margot Robbie uncomfortable to the point where I think she said she wouldn't work with him anymore and with all the other rumblings about Jared Leto and #metoo stuff, is this really a good option?

Right but Jared Leto is pretty well hated by most for his Joker performance. I’d say he played very little part in the success of that film. It was more Margot Robbie and Will Smith that sold people in my view of it. I don’t think anyone is asking for more Letoker.

Re: Another Untitled Joker Movie -- S: Jared Leto

I have zero interest in Leto reprising his role. I didn't hate Suicide Squad, but he was easily the worst part of it.
