Warner Bros. reportedly plans to use producer Martin Scorcese to lure longtime collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio to play the lead in the in-development Joker origin story movie.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the studio would like DiCaprio (or another extremely high-profile actor) to play the Joker "as a gritty crime boss in a Scorsese-esque Gotham underworld." However, no offer has yet been made.
The split between this standalone movie and ongoing DC Extended Universe projects has seemingly already confused one big name - current Joker actor Jared Leto (who, in Suicide Squad, already portrayed the iconic villain as a crime boss of sorts) was apparently surprised and upset by the idea of another actor taking on the role. Leto is currently lined up to reprise the Joker in Suicide Squad 2, and the Joker & Harley Quinn spin-off movie.
