Jared Leto has been linked to the role of the Joker in Suicide Squad.
We haven't seen Leto on the big screen since he picked up a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club earlier this year, but TheWrap have revealed that he is in talks with Warner Bros about Suicide Squad.
Suicide Squad will see David Ayer in the director's chair, and will bring together a whole host of supervillains and terrific actors.
A source revealed that Ryan Gosling has been offered the role of the Joker but has turned it down - it has been suggested that he was unwilling to sign up to multiple sequels.
Tom Hardy, Will Smith, and Margot Robbie are some of the names that have been linked to the role in recent weeks.
Jesse Eisenberg is thought to be reprising his role as Lex Luthor, after being cast as Superman's arch-enemy in the 2016 film 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', which stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill.
This is not the first time that Leto has been linked with a superhero film, as he was believed to be in the mix to play Doctor Strange for Marvel earlier this year.
Leto gained critical acclaim for his performance as Rayon earlier this year, and has no other films in the pipeline,
Dallas Buyers Club was Leto's first film since Mr Nobody back in 2009, and the actor did suggest that he would take another long break after this success.
