A creepy new behind-the-scenes video from David Ayer’s Suicide Squad puts the spotlight on Jared Leto’s Joker.
Suicide Squad director David Ayer recently revealed a new behind-the-scenes video from the DC Comics movie featuring Jared Leto as The Joker. Suicide Squad has always been a divisive movie among fans and critics alike, with many debating whether Jared Leto’s Joker performance was incredible or if it completely missed the mark. The Suicide Squad star’s take on the Joker has since been outshone by Joaquin Phoenix’s groundbreaking character study of the Clown Prince of Crime.
The behind-the-scenes video shared by Suicide Squad director David Ayer shows off Jared Leto staring down the camera as The Joker. It seems like the video was a test to see how the Suicide Squad director could use Jared Leto’s Joker on-screen. The brief video proves that Jared Leto’s Joker can be intimidating if he tries, but fans on Reddit were quick to dismiss the performance.
