Suicide Squad Star Jared Leto Tried To Sabotage Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker?

Joaquin Phoenix received a lot of praises for his performance in the film Joker. Even the film received rave reviews from the audience as well as critics. The latest reports mention that Suicide Squad actor Jared Leto tried to sabotage Joaquin’s Joker from being made.

As mentioned by the Hollywood Reporter, a source informed that Jared Leto told his agents to make sure Todd Phillips’ Joker gets called off. The actor even asked the music manager to call Warners’ parent company to make sure the film doesn’t happen.

The report mentions, “The idea was to get Warners to kill the Phillips film.” However, Jared Leto’s agents denied all the reports of him trying to throttle Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.

THR had earlier reported that after playing crime lord in Suicide Squad (2016), Jared Leto thought that Warners would do a stand-alone Joker film with him. However, the makers gave a nod to Todd Phillips’ Joker starring Joaquin.
