Withย Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceย in its second week, soon the eyes of DC fans will be shifting to the upcomingย Suicide Squadย film. Set to release August 5th, the film boasts an already star-studded cast that includes Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Jai Courtney. However, none as drawn more attention than Jared Leto’s tattooed take on The Joker which had its fair share of controversy among fans. In a recent interview withย Entertainment Weekly,ย the Academy Award winner commented on his approach in portraying the Clown Prince of Crime.

Joker

“You just knew you had to do something different. You had to make it your own. That happens all the time. Whether youโ€™re a composer working on a piece of music that was written a century ago, or youโ€™re an actor on stage, reinterpreting a play, itโ€™s very common these days. Directors take on great works of cinema, actors reinterpret roles, thatโ€™s been going on for a great deal of time. From Scarface to Hamlet. In some ways itโ€™s really interesting to reinterpret, redefineโ€ฆItโ€™s a weighty thing to do. But itโ€™s exciting. The Joker is one of those roles. He was written brilliantly when he was first shared with the world 75 years ago, or something crazy like that. And I think Iโ€™m just really grateful I had the opportunity.”

Leto goes on to say,ย โ€œThe work thatโ€™s been done on this character by so many people before me has been so impactful, so incredible, so much fun, so profound, so risky, that itโ€™s a very special thing to be asked to take on that responsibility.โ€

Though little is known about the plot ofย Suicide Squad, there is no question that Leto’s Joker will have some large shoes to fill. For all yourย Suicide Squadย news and the latest developments, make sure to visit The Nerd Stash.
