The highly-anticipated bad-guys-turned-superheroes film "Suicide Squad" is coming in August but Jared Leto who plays Joker is reported to initially be debuting in the big screen for "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" this March in a brief yet significant appearance.
In its report, Comic Book Movie published an alleged magazine scan from an unnamed French publication. The scanned page highlighted the names and the bios of the cast of "Dawn of Justice" plus the characters they would be playing.
The website iDigitalTimes, however, noticed that at the bottom of Ezra Miller's The Flash's description, it mentioned "Joker flashback." The flashback, according to iDigitalTimes, is highly possible especially with how Batman is portrayed as a "weathered superhero" in "Dawn of Justice" plus the scene where a defaced Robin costume in the Batcave is seen. And with the downtrodden state of Batman and Robin, Joker's role may come into play.
Meanwhile, added to the list of Jared Leto's Joker is the award-winning actress and "Suicide Squad" co-star Viola Davis. The likes of Margot Robbie, Will Smith, directors David Ayer and Zack Snyder have already expressed how they were in awe of Jared Leto's method acting for portraying the Joker; and now Viola Davis reveals she, too, was terrified.
"The Joker-he did some bad things, Jared Leto did," Davis said (via Moviefone). "He gave some really horrific gifts. He had a henchman who came into the rehearsal room... with a dead pig and plopped it on the table, and then he walked out. And that was our introduction to Jared Leto."
Davis, however, admitted that what Leto did motivated her to also put her all into her role as government official Amanda Walker, who is responsible for assembling the "Suicide Squad."
She said, "Now, I'm terrified, just as a person, thinking, 'Is he crazy?'"
"But the second part was, 'Oh s-t, I've gotta have my stuff together.' You talk about commitment, and then he sends Margot Robbie a black rat. It was still alive, in a box. She screamed. And then she kept it," Viola recalled.
