Jared Leto is believed to be in talks to replace Will Smith in Brilliance.
Will Smith was originally cast in the lead role in Brilliance, but dropped out of the project last month.
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Leto is in very early talks to replace Smith in the film.
Brilliance is an adaptation of the novel by Marcus Sakey, and could see Leto team up with actress Noomi Rapace - who has been attached to the project for a little while.
Leto has already had a terrific 2014, after scooping the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club.
Dallas Buyers Club was Leto's first big screen role since Mr. Nobody back in 2009.
Leto has yet to announce what his next film project will be - joking he may take another long hiatus if it resulted in an Oscar winning performance every time.
