For a brief, strange time, Jared Leto was a go-to guy for a franchise film. He was the Joker in Suicide Squad, the villainous Niander Wallace in Blade Runner 2049, and Morbius in Morbius. He had every element of a leading man: an Oscar, a rock star alter-ego, and strange actor-brain tendencies that were misidentified as “method.”
But thanks to box office failures just like Morbius, the shine started to fade. Disney was still willing to bet big on Leto, casting him as the rogue AI Ares in Tron: Ares, but a new report reveals that this belated sequel was a mistake from top to bottom.
