Jared Leto explains why he deleted his Suicide Squad scenes and it’s pretty amazing.
Millions of people went to the theaters this weekend to check out the new Joker in Suicide Squad. But, apparently Jared Leto’s The Joker was barely in the movie despite his over the top antics and method acting shenanigans on set, including sending the cast used condoms, and never breaking character between scenes.
Leto has reportedly said many of his scenes were cut, which makes us think this may have been all promotion for the movie for the movie. But, Jared Leto wants you to know that his scenes were so great they could be part of a new movie.
Leto spoke about his deleted scenes and his push for an R-rating during a BBC Radio 1 interview and he thinks his scenes were cut because they were too good.
Leto said: “I think that I brought so much to the table in every scene that it was probably more about filtering all of the insanity, because I wanted to give a lot of options, and I think there’s probably enough footage in this film for a Joker movie.”
Leto also reveals in the interview that he told director David Ayer they should make the movie rated R. “It felt like, if a film was ever going to be rated R, it should be the one about the villains.” However, Ayer said in the past that the movie was planned as a PG-13 production from the very beginning.
Here’s the full, 14-minute interview if you think you can handle Jared Leto’s method acting.
