Jaret Leto zal in Suicide Squad (4 augustus in de bioscoop) schitteren als The Joker en zoals je weet is dat een behoorlijk zware erfenis nadat Heath Ledger deze zo iconisch neerzetten in The Dark Knight uit 2008. Maar Leto is een method acteur en leefde dus helemaal als The Joker op en buiten de set en daar over verteld hij meer in dit interview, waar van je hier onder alvast een stukje kan bekijken.

"We knew we had to strike new ground. There had been such great work that we knew we had to go in a different direction. So you had a kind of direction from the very beginning, knowing that you can't go that way, so you have to head this way. That was really helpful. But the Joker is fantastic because there are no rules. The Joker operates from instinct.

"There are a lot of things. It's probably better to not get into it but to the Joker, violence is a symphony. This is someone who gets an extreme reward from the act of violence and manipulation. Those are the songs he sings and he is very in tune with what makes people tick. I did meet with people that were experts, doctors, psychiatrists that dealt with psychopaths and people who had committed horrendous crimes, and then I spent some time with those people themselves, people who have been institutionalized for great periods of time. I guess when you take on a role, any role, you become part detective, part writer, and for me that's my favorite time of the entire process, the discovering, the uncovering, and the building of a character. Yeah, it's really fun."
