New set photos from Birds of Prey starring Margot Robbie reveal Harley Quinn being kicked out by The Joker just as Jared Leto teases his return to the role of the Clown Prince of Crime.
Previous set photos confirmed Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Jared Leto’s Joker would be split up in the upcoming girl-gang film Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). There were even set photos that hinted that Jared Leto’s Joker told Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn to hit the road and kicked her out of his house. The latest batch of set photos have now confirmed this, however, whether or not Jared Leto will appear as The Joker in the film remains uncertain.
New set photos feature Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn attempting to catch her things as the Joker chucks her belongings from the second story window of his house. While this is clearly Jared Leto’s version of the Joker, the window keeps his face hidden perfectly to conceal the identity of the actor playing the character. Jared Leto himself is currently overseas filming Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man spin-off Morbius for which he stars as the titular anti-hero.
Although Jared Leto has not been confirmed, nor ruled out, for an appearance alongside Margot Robbie in the Birds Of Prey spin-off, the actor did take to Snapchat to share a memory, offering fans a little hope that he could return to reprise his role as the Joker. Check it out below.
