The character of Joker is one of the most iconic film roles of all-time. Each actor to take on the part has put their own creative spin on it and picking a favorite performance among all of the all-tine great iterations of the villain is a difficult task. Very few, however, would pick Jared Leto’s portrayal in Suicide Squad. Even the Academy Award winner himself has admitted that he hasn’t seen the movie.

That being said, he apparently still felt alienated and upset when he heard about the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix. Leto seems to really want to play the character again, but it looks like he might not ever get the chance. Despite the massive financial success of the movie, fans and critics alike ripped apart the actor’s bizarre take on the bad guy in Suicide Squad and all future plans that Warner Bros. had for Leto were quickly put on hold following the backlash.
