'Suicide Squad' News, Update: Jai Courtney Comments on Jared Leto's Approach to the Joker
Jai Courtney has recently been spotted promoting his new movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Emilia Clarke, "Terminator: Genisys." The actor is on break from filming for DC's highly-anticipated big screen offering, "Suicide Squad."
The people over at MTV caught up with the actor to talk about the David Ayer-helmed title.
The 29-year-old actor took off to comment about the proliferation of the set photos online which, according to him, people may already have some knowledge about.
"Well, it's always funny … Often you'll go into a movie, usually like franchise stuff, where it's like super protected and you're signing all sorts of agreements and things to not reveal details. I guess they launched some images officially, like the week before we started because we knew we we're going to get snapped up. Like, yeah, we can't say anything about it, but fans now, and like bloggers and stuff, have a pretty fair idea of what's going on," the "Spartacus" star told Screen Rant.
Courtney also spoke about his co-star Jared Leto, who is playing the iconic role of the Joker.
"I don't think any of us are naïve to the pressure he's under. It's not something I've talked about with him, but I've seen him working and it's cool, man," he said.
The "Divergent" actor went on to discuss on the issue as to whether or not the Oscar winner is using method acting for the role, much like his predecessor, the late Heath Ledger.
"Sort of. I don't know how you measure that these days. I haven't seen him, since we started working, out-of-character, let's put it that way," he said.
"Suicide Squad" is slated to hit the cinemas by Aug. 5 of 2016.
