TV Monday, March 21: Jared Leto as the Joker

Movie of the day

Leader of a rock band Thirty seconds to MarsJared Leto regularly challenges himself through important roles in cinema in which he places himself body and soul. At the 2014 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his role as an HIV-positive transgender at the Dallas Buyers Club, he boldly cast Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger in the iconic role of the Joker in the superhero film. – villains. Suicide Squad. To portray the cult bad guy in DC, he still invests physically by radically changing his appearance, but also psychologically, by touching psychopaths and criminals on the shoulders.

When it was released in 2016, the film’s huge commercial success was opposed by negative critics – the press and the public. As a tattooed gangster joker, Jared Leto does not convince and even finds himself in the category of worst actor in a supporting role nominated for a Razzie Awards. Unlike director David Ayer, who is defending the final editing of his film, the actor believes that his character’s madness has been weakened by the studio by greatly strengthening the cuts from his scenes.

Three years later, Jared Leto continues to fight for this role, which is close to his heart when he is excluded from Todd Phillips’s project about the origin of the Joker in favor of Joaquin Phoenix. The annoyed actor was also pressuring his agent to end it. If that’s attempt fails, he still has a chance to reappear as Batman’s worst enemy in Zack Snyder’s Justice League epilogue.
