https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/19/jared-leto-reportedly-tried-to-stop-the-new-joker-movie-joaquin-phoenix-todd-phillips

We already knew Suicide Squad star Jared Leto was upset about Todd Phillips' Joker Movie, feeling "alienated and upset" over Warner Bros. greenlighting a new incarnation of the Clown Prince of Crime.
Now THR, which originally reported the actor's dismay, is stating that Leto tried to use his influence to kill the new Joker project in its developmental stage.

"He not only complained bitterly to his agents at CAA, who also represent Phillips," the piece reports, "but asked his music manager, Irving Azoff, to call the leader of Warners parent company."

Warner Bros. declined to comment on the story to THR while a source within Leto's camp denied the accusations.

Apparently, Leto felt betrayed by Warner Bros. after thinking he was in line for his own Joker solo movie.

For more on Joker, here's how Martin Scorsese helped out the film and how the film itself mirrors Scorsese's The King of Comedy.

If Jared Leto really thought he had the power to get WB to kill a movie, he's in a worse place mentally than I ever thought.

I don't even think his acting could have saved the part.
The way the Joker was written is that he was just a sidecharacter to explain how Harley wasn't a bad guy by choice.

The entire thing is pretty terribly done. But I think what bothered me the most about him is that he isn't funny at all. Or completely messed up.
That's how Joker is meant to be. Either funny or sadistic enough that he makes you uneasy.

This one just felt like some 19 year old kid's take on an "artistic" styling of the Joker. EG take the Joker out of Joker and see what happens

What other movies/tvs/comics/cartoons have you seen that have had Joker in it that might be easier to explain.

But overall Joker in SS was more about making Harley seem obsessed with him and she was stalking him rather than him being a manipulative psycho who brainwashed her into it

In spite of all the things that's come out about Leto in the last year or whatever in regards to the new film, I'll always remember him as Harry in Requiem For A Dream and just how fucking good he was in it.

The studio meddling. They got Jared Leto to film hours and hours of joker footage and develop an entire character, then used the worst 5 minutes of footage for the movie.

Tbh I don't think he's even awful. Character was never given a chance to develop, otherwise wasnt bad by any means. Appearance is just too controversial

Hey, he did laugh! He just laughed like an asthmatic old man who huffed a big ol' handful of powdered chalk and valium. And it was fucking terrible.
