Jared Leto refuted rumors that he sent Suicide Squad co-star Margot Robbie a dead rat during filming.

Back in the fall, Jared Leto got a second crack at playing The Joker for the Knightmare sequence in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The recently released trailer along with some photos shared beforehand revealed Leto’s new look as the Clown Prince of Crime. Leto notably played an inked Joker in the first Suicide Squad film and there have been many rumors about how method he got the first time around. Perhaps, the most popular rumor is that he sent Margot Robbie a dead rat during production.

In a recent video for GQ, Jared Leto broke down his most iconic movie roles and when it came to Suicide Squad, the Academy Award-winner said he never sent Margot Robbie a dead rat:

“It’s also interesting how this stuff all takes on a life of its own. I never gave Margot Robbie a dead rat. That’s just not true. I actually gave her… I found this place in Toronto that had great vegan cinnamon buns, and that was a very common thing.”

Do you think Jared Leto will redeem himself as Joker in the Snyder Cut? Do you think Leto’s Joker will ever reunite with Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn? Sound-off in the comments below!

Jared Leto will return as Joker in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, here is the synopsis:

“In ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.”
