Jared Leto's JOKER Gets His Own Standalone Movie from Warner Bros.
Jared Leto’s incarnation of Batman villain The Joker, seen in 2016’s Suicide Squad, may be getting his own solo movie. Warner Bros. is in the early stages of developing with Leto a standalone movie project and is currently out to writers for a take, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Leto would star and exec produce the solo movie that is set in the Suicide Squad universe.
Squad was directed by David Ayer and featured an array of DC villains as anti-heroes. The movie, which grossed $746 million worldwide, starred Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Leto, among others.
This is the latest DC movie project being developed by Warners that is focusing on Joker and other villains. The studio is already developing a so-called Joker origins movie that would be directed by Todd Phillips that would potentially star Joaquin Phoenix.
At the same time, Warners is also developing several movies that would star or feature Harley Quinn, the character played by Robbie. One of those was a Joker/Quinn two-hander. Warner Bros. currently has three upcoming DC movies on the calendar — December's Aquaman, April 2019's Shazam! and November 2019's Wonder Woman 2.
