Legendary actor and box office king shares his experiences with Jared Leto for their upcoming superhero movie,  Suicide Squad.

Pet rats and dyed green hair be damned -- this was the most method that Jared Leto went on the set of Suicide Squad.

According to Will Smith, Leto never broke character once the whole time they were filming, leading Smith to believe that he only ever met the Joker while they worked together on Suicide Squad. 

Smith told Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 Radio interview about his (apparently out-of-his-mind) costar:

“(Suicide Squad) is insane. I’ve never actually met Jared Leto. We worked together for six months and we’ve never exchanged a word outside of ‘Action!’ and ‘Cut!’ … I literally have not met him yet. So, the first time I see him will be ‘Hey, Jared. What’s up?’ … He was all in on the Joker.”

It's pretty in keeping with Leto's own description of his performance, which he talked about at a 30 Seconds to Mars concert in Dubai (via The National):

I can’t wait for you to see this – they’re going to lock me away in a box after this movie comes out.

After Smith's description of Leto's method acting on set, maybe he should be locked in that box now...

RUMOR!!! JARED LETO'S JOKER WILL APPEAR IN BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE!!!!

As the time shortens towards the release date of the upcoming Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) the rumours seem to be running wild and getting more and more interesting and stranger! The latest one revolves around the appearance of Jared Leto's Joker not only in Suicide Squad as we all know but also in Batman V Superman!

That's exactly how Warner Bros. intended it to be with all the hints and Easter eggs that they dropped, which they also knew would be nitpicked and theorized by today's blogosphere.
It has reached a point wherein there are already betting odds on which rumors will hold true. One rumor seems to have reached "inevitable" level, and that is the possible appearance of the Joker.

Cinema Blend has enumerated the hints on the trailer in this post and they reach a conclusion that all those Easter eggs-the damaged Robin costume and the vandalized headline, among others, lead to a clear conclusion.

"But with all of these hints dropped into this second trailer, I think it's extremely likely that we will see Jared Leto's Joker before he appears in Suicide Squad later next year."

What Culture also crashes the Joker party with a full-on prediction on how the appearance will take place.

"The rumored scene, which was reportedly added into the movie at the last minute, is supposed to depict the Joker kicking Batman's sidekick, Robin (or Jason Todd), to death," WC surmised. "And given that the trailer has already confirmed the appearance of a damaged Robin suit and the existence of at least one flashback (we see a young Bruce Wayne and his parents at one point in the latest trailer), there's certainly room for a debate on its inclusion."

The article also stated that the main argument against this rumor is that the film might already be "overstuffed." There are already a number of heroes to be introduced in the film to add the Joker to the head count.

The thing is, that is actually the intent of the movie. It has already been confirmed that BvS is more "Justice League" introduction and DC Extended Universe building block than "Man of Steel" sequel. It was meant to be that way, and the Joker plays an integral part of what makes the Ben Affleck Batman "scarred.

HOW CRAZY WILL JARED LETO'S JOKER BE IN SUICIDE SQUAD?

While Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice may be the next highly anticipated DC movie coming out over the next year, the performance that seems to have most people excited is Jared Leto’s take on The Joker in Suicide Squad. It doesn’t help that the actor has continuously teased fans about just how far off the rails his version of the Clown Prince of Crime will be. But just how crazy will our new Joker be?
 
According to Heroic Hollywood, at a recent concert for his band 30 Seconds to Mars, Leto addressed the crowd about his excitement for Suicide Squad:

I can’t wait for you to see this – they’re going to lock me away in a box after this movie comes out.

 
While this does not necessarily provide us with much insight regarding how Leto will bring the character to life, it seems to indicate that insanity will be the name of the game. Leto’s on-set antics as The Joker have already made headlines over the last few months – such as sending live rats to his Suicide Squad cast mates. Leto’s commitment to the character reportedly went too far and so off the rails that Margot Robbie felt genuinely afraid of him while on set. That’s dedication. Given the fact that The Joker will reportedly play a "Hannibal Lecter" role in Suicide Squad, and we will get a glimpse of what he did to Harleen Quinzel to turn her into Harley Quinn, it seems as though Suicide Squad will provide the most in-depth look into Joker’s psyche that movie audiences have ever seen.
 
Every iteration of The Joker is insane in some sense of the word, but his characterization has most certainly changed from version to version. Cesar Romero’s Joker always seemed like a loveably looney cartoon – a throwback to the Silver Age Joker. Jack Nicholson’s Joker played like an unhinged extension of the actor’s already unhinged personality. Heath Ledger’s Joker always felt less like a crazy person, and more like a brilliant anarchist, steadfast in his beliefs. Perhaps the craziest version of The Joker to grace our screens to date came in the form of Mark Hamill’s iconic portrayal of the character in Batman: The Animated Series – and subsequently in the Arkham games. However, just going off of what everyone has to say about Jared Leto’s take on the character, we may soon have a new Joker upon which all others are compared.

ALL THE LATEST ON DC'S UPCOMING MEGA-HIT, THE SUICIDE SQUAD!

One of the hottest movies that is coming out next year is "Suicide Squad," made even hotter by the fact that it's a gamble on DC's side.

There have been countless exciting plots—one of which is that the "Suicide Squad" form to take down the Big, Bad Bat. According to this report from Movie Pilot, the Squad is formed reportedly because Ben Affleck's Batman is a darker, more serious vigilante than he is usually looked at.

The article goes on to say that there's reason behind Batman's shift—he's had a virtual change of mind after witnessing feelings of "fear and vulnerability," according to the article. That is courtesy of seeing Superman, where he is conflicted with a myriad of different emotions, causing him to go pseudo-rogue.

Whatever the reasons are, it's an exciting mess that Batman is involved in, and one that should make Suicide Squad a very interesting movie to watch
.
Meanwhile, here is Melty's take on the whole Batman situation in "Suicide Squad."

All the situations that Batman found himself in—getting rogue and all—could have caught the eye of the government. It could have also given them enough reason to seek the help of Amanda Waller, who in turn could've gathered the group—most of which Batman put in Arkham—to control him.
On the other hand, there could also be other reasons why Amanda is given control of these misfits. One of those could be to help them with their cases—as each on is promised commuted sentences in exchange for conducting services in the form of black-ops missions deemed "suicidal."

Then, there's Cara Delevingne's Enchantress, one who, according to rumors, is the one to watch out for. This is in order to resurrect her dead brother, one which puts everyone at risk—and the Suicide Squad is called to control her.

Whatever the story is, it seems "Suicide Squad" could turn out to be a pleasant surprise for DC.

SUICIDE SQUAD (2016) ... WHAT IF THE JOKER ISN'T THE MAIN VILLAIN OF THE MOVIE?

Do you remember all the fanfare and marketing behind Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight in 2008? We all focused on the Joker as the main antagonist on the movie and then we all learnt that Two Face / Harvey Dent was just as equal an ingredient to the plot and in fact pushing the entire storyline just a little further, it seems that this may be the case with the Suicide Squad.

Fans already know that supermodel turned actress Cara Delevingne will play witch Enchantress in the movie, but website Heroic Hollywood has gone one step further and put it out there that actually, she might just be the first major female villain in a superhero blockbuster.

The theory follows that the team are sent on a mission to stop Enchantress resurrecting her dead brother and wreaking havoc, and it does make sense that she's the antagonist judging by the recent Comic Con trailer. Enchantress certainly seems up to no good, what with all that creeping around and bathing in bog in front of a pentagram.

Obviously this is all completely unconfirmed, with producers keeping what's actually going down as secret as possible.

SUICIDE SQUAD PLOT
A secret government agency run by Amanda Waller, named A.R.G.U.S creates a task force comprised of super villains, the "Suicide Squad". They are assigned to execute dangerous tasks in exchange for shorter prison sentences.

BEN AFFLECK TALKS ABOUT HIS ROLE AS A "DAWN OF JUSTICE" BATMAN

From what we've seen so far, Ben Affleck will be giving us a Batman/Bruce Wayne unlike any of his predecessors; however when Ben Affleck was first offered the role of Batman in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE he initially thought that he would not be the right fit for the role due to his age. Empire's latest issue features quite the spread on the upcoming film, including Ben Affleck's explanation on just how director Zack Snyder pitched the role to him:

SUICIDE SQUAD (2016) Move Aside Batman & Superman... HERE'S THE NEW TRAILER FOR SUICIDE SQUAD!

Perhaps with all the hype around the Batman and Man of Steel / Justice League movies, we've kind of been slack toward the upcoming Suicide Squad movie... who knows but when you look at the pure star power of this movie alone, there's no question that it may well eclipse the Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice epic about to hit screens in March 2016.

SUICIDE SQUAD (2016) - WILL SMITH Takes On JARED LETO aka THE NEW JOKER!

The wheels are definitely turning at Warner Bros as their superhero movie line up goes into full throttle and one of those adding to the momentum has got to be the Suicide Squad movie which is set for a release in 2016. Now with Marvel making a killing with their characters, let's hope that DC can finally start giving us a decent bunch of movies that will really take the light away from Marvel, well that is the dream anyway.
