While Jared Leto's Joker is not confirmed to appear in the upcoming Birds of Prey film, the actor is open to playing the character again.
“I would definitely play the Joker again,” Leto told Variety. “It all depends on the script and the circumstances as it always does.”
When asked if the Joker would appear in the upcoming Birds of Prey film, he said, "I don’t think so. You’d have to ask them,” but then cryptically added, “Well, we’ll see.”
Leto's take on the Clown Prince of Crime made his first appearance in 2016's Suicide Squad. While Leto's Joker met with mixed reviews, it was certainly a version of the character never seen before.
The actor is set to play the Marvel vampire Morbius in an upcoming film titled after the character. The film will be set in London and is planned for a July 2020 release. It will be helmed by Life director Daniel Espinosa.
Directed by Cathy Yan from a script by Christina Hodson, Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) stars Margot Robbie, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rosie Perez, Ewan McGregor, Steven Williams, Derek Wilson, Dana Lee, Francois Chau, Charlene Amoia, Chris Messina and Matthew Willig. The film is scheduled for release on Feb. 7, 2020.
