Jared Leto Says He’d “Definitely” Play The Joker Again

2870

During a podcast interview with VARIETY, Jared Leto says he’s more than open to playing The Joker again; with some “If’s”, however.

“I would definitely play The Joker again,” JL said. “It all depends on the script and the circumstances as it always does.”

Leto was asked if he might’ve already reprised the role in the upcoming BIRDS OF PREY movie. “I don’t think so. You’d have to ask them.”  And followed that with, “Well, we’ll see.”  (There’s a reason that Leto was asked about The Joker in BIRDS OF PREY, but for the sake of spoilers, I will not comment on that here.)

Personally, I don’t think we’ll see Leto as The Joker again.  I don’t believe he’ll be The Joker alongside Matt Reeves’ version of Batman — if Reeves even uses the character, of course.  On the other hand, you never know I guess.  Maybe that Joker/Harley team-up film that was in the works will finally come to fruition.

And for what it’s worth, I kinda liked Leto’s Joker — I certainly like him as an actor playing the part.

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. If there is a Mount Rushmore of this stuff, his face is already up there — sunglasses on, arms crossed, probably telling someone to calm down. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
