Jared Leto, the actor who will be bringing the Joker to life on screen yet again in 2016's Suicide Squad film, has his work cut out for him. Not only does he have to follow in the footsteps of Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, but the actor must also undergo a complete physical transformation into the clown price of crime.
Leto has been teasing fans about his new look for weeks now. It first started with the actor blasting out his new haircut via social media. Then he gave fans a preview of the voice he may be using for the character in the film.
Now he is doing the same with another picture, this one stating the actor's "transformation" into the Joker is truly beginning.
It's not much, honestly: Leto staring at the camera, his eyes wide open. Judging from the text and the picture itself, it sounds like Leto will finally be undergoing the full make-up process that will transform him into the Joker we all know and love.
You can probably guess what comes next: green hair, white make-up, red lip-stick. Maybe Joker's iconic purple suit?
Leto's final look for the film will likely be kept under wraps for a while, but it is still fun for the actor to engage fans with posts like these. Who knows, maybe his next post will be a crystal-clear look at him in character? That seems unlikely, but it's not like we haven't seen the Joker before. Why keep his final look a secret?
Suicide Squad is currently filming with a release date set for next year. According to various rumors, Leto's Joker will be the most sinister on screen version of the character yet, said to have been inspired by Hannibal Lecter. How big a role Joker will play in the final film is still unknown, but director David Ayer hasn't been shy about dishing out easter eggs and sneak peeks during the film's production. Expect more Suicide Squad news soon.
