David Ayer recently posted the first pic of Jared Leto’s version of the Joker (Suicide Squad) on his Twitter account to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the character.
This will be a very different version of the Joker, so do not look and expect to see anything similar to Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger’s look. There are a few traditional elements like green hair, pale skin, dark eyeliner, purple clothing, but this Joker is a completely different approach.
The Suicide Squad is a fictional government agency, appearing in stories published by DC Comics. The Squad’s roster consists of reformed and/or incarcerated villains, promised commuted sentences in return for participation in high-risk missions.
The film stars Jared Leto, Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Viola Davis, Adam Beach, Ike Barinholtz, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Common and Scott Eastwood. It is set to hit theaters August 5th, 2016.
