Meanwhile, the first trailer for “Suicide Squad” has prompted some comparisons between Jared Leto and Heath Ledger – something which many fans and critics saw as inevitable. Leto is filling a role that was represented in an iconic way by Heath Ledger, and he has a lot of attention focused on him because of that.
We can only imagine the kind of pressure the actor must be under at the moment, and hopefully it’s not going to affect his work in any negative way. However, if he uses his method acting properly, this could even potentially be helpful – after all, it could give him an insight into the chaotic mind of The Joker.
So far, Leto seems to be handling his new role rather well, so we expect to see a great performance from him once the film is out. If he handles this role well, it could be a very important step in his career too.
Most comments about Leto’s version of The Joker have been extremely positive so far, and the preview immediately generated lots of positive attention on Twitter, so hopefully the final product is going to match what we saw in that trailer. It’s always possible that the trailer footage was cherry picked, but hopefully it’s actually representative of the film.
