New Details on "Suicide Squad," Jared Leto's Joker from DCEU Producer

The website Collider recently sat down with Charles Roven, a producer on "Man of Steel," "Batman v. Superman:Dawn of Justice," and the rest of the DCEU films including "Suicide Squad." Roven previously discussed "BvS" but this portion of the interview focused on August 2016's supervillan team-up.

Most notably, he commented on actor Jared Leto's performance and methodology for the iconic role of the Joker, who is also rumored to be involved in an upcoming Batman solo film:

“Look, you know, it was different, it was fun. The group first wasn’t sure because the AD’s had to call him ‘Mr. J’ to get him to come to the set [laughs]. And he did in many ways isolate himself from the rest of the group, but that’s really what his character was, the purpose of his character in many ways, other than when he was with Harley or trying to get Harley. It was very entertaining, it was fuel for a lot of good sport and a lot of laughs, and his isolation bonded the squad, and we wanted the squad bonded.”

Other topics covered included how the film was pitched by director/screewriter David Ayer, the film's PG-13 rating, and what Roven thinks fans will enjoy most from the movie.
