One of the actors from David Ayer\u2019s Suicide Squad has shared a strange incident from the film\u2019s set involving Jared Leto\u2019s Joker. Leto portrayed the clown prince of crime in the DC Extended Universe, which was later scrapped.<\/p>\n
What did Ike Barinholtz say about Suicide Squad and Jared Leto?<\/p>\n
In 2016\u2019s Suicide Squad, Ike Barinholtz portrayed Griggs, a prison guard at Belle Reve who was later interrogated by the villain. In the scene, Leto\u2019s Joker intimidates Griggs, forcing him to reveal the location of Harley Quinn\u2019s whereabouts.<\/p>\n
Barinholtz said during an appearance on Funny You Ask<\/a>, \u201cHe was supposed to be, like, menacing me in the scene. So I was acting scared, like, \u2018Oh no, please.\u2019 He\u2019s like straddling me and is like, \u2018Uh oh! Did someone piss their pants?\u2019 And I\u2019m a yes-ander, so I was like, \u2018Yes. Yeah.\u2019 And it was just like \u2014 that\u2019s a rough improv to say to someone.\u201d<\/p>\n Leto is known for immersing himself deeply in his characters through method acting. During the filming of Suicide Squad, several actors came forward sharing stories of how Leto sent them increasingly disturbing gifts while staying in character. Leto\u2019s stint as the Joker was short-lived, with many critics panning his take on the character. Leto reprised the role in one of the final scenes of Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League.<\/p>\n Following Leto, the Joker has been played by Joaquin Phoenix and Barry Keoghan in 2019\u2019s Joker and 2022\u2019s The Batman. James Gunn\u2019s DC Universe has yet to introduce its version of the Joker and Batman. The latter is expected to debut first in The Brave and the Bold.<\/p>\n Since playing the Joker, Leto has also attempted a second try at playing a comic-book character in 2022\u2019s Morbius. The film was a critical and financial flop, grossing $167 million and earning a measly 15% on Rotten Tomatoes. Leto also plays Skeletor in this year\u2019s Masters of the Universe, which has also not been a box office success. The actor brought his Joker-like behavior to the He-Man set as well. Unfortunately, the actor\u2019s commitment to playing the villain did not help the film.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Rahul Majumdar on SuperHeroHype.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Suicide Squad Star Recalls \u2018Rough\u2019 Jared Leto Joker Improv Moment in DC Movie<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n
