Jared Leto Reveals If He'd Ever Reprise His Role As The Joker

In a new interview with Variety, Thirty Seconds to Mars' Jared Leto talked about his character in The Little Things as well as a previous character, The Joker.

We first saw Leto as the “Clown Prince of Crime” in 2016's Suicide Squad and while he didn't appear as the infamous villain in the Harley Quinn spin-off, Leto is down to reprise the role if need be.

“It’s hard to say no to that character,” he said of The Joker. “There are a very few characters that you play that have absolutely no rules, you know, that you could just go to town with and it’s so much fun.”

In addition to talking about that role, the actor noted that his The Little Things character, Albert Sparma, is a lot like The Joker. 

“Sparma reminds me a little bit of that character [The Joker] as well in that he’s just a little outside the box,” he said. “He’s someone who says everything that he thinks, basically. And he always is surprising. He’s very playful.”

While we won't see Leto in the Suicide Squad sequel, he will be returning as The Joker in Zack Snyder's Justice League, which is slated to come out this year.

In the meantime, Leto will be appearing in Morbius as the lead role and has also confirmed his involvement in the third installment of the TRON franchise. Oh yeah, and he's making his directorial debut with a 30STM documentary.

You can catch him in The Little Things at the end of this month on January 29 on HBO Max.
