    Zack Snyder Teases Jared Leto's New Look as Joker in His Version of 'Justice League'

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    Taking to Twitter to hype up the anticipation for the upcoming HBO Max movie, the director shares a new photo of ‘The Snyder Cut’ that gives a look at the Batman villain.

    Feb 3, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Jared Leto’s Joker gets a new look in “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”. Hyping up the anticipation for his highly-demanded version of the superhero ensemble film, Zack Snyder has taken to Twitter to share a new photo that teases the return of the Batman villain in the upcoming HBO Max movie.
    Though blurry, the picture posted on Tuesday, February 2 hints at Joker’s different look. It seems that Leto’s character sports longer locks, compared to his slicked-back gangster look in “Suicide Squad”. He also seems to wear vinyl glove that gives off a surgical or serial killer vibe as he holds a Joker card.
    “Amazing character you created. Honored to have our worlds collide @DavidAyerMovies @JaredLeto,” Snyder captioned the image while appearing to praise “Suicide Squad” director David Ayer and the actor, Leto, as he tagged both of them.

    Leto reprises his role as Joker, which he debuted in 2016’s “Suicide Squad”, for “The Snyder Cut”, which is Snyder’s version of 2017’s “Justice League”. The actor recently shared his experience of revisiting the character and working with the filmmaker.

    “Zack Snyder is a warrior, he’s a madman. I really love him,” Leto told Jake Hamilton on his “Jake’s Takes” show. “With every character I play, I don’t know if it’s because I work so intently and tend to dig really deep and put a lot of time and energy into them, when I’m done playing a part I do miss them a little bit.”
    Comparing his performance as Joker to his role as Sparma in “The Little Things”, he continued sharing, “Parts like Joker and Sparma, what’s really great about those roles is they can be intense and dark but there’s also a lot of freedom and abandon there.”
    The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman added, “It’s fun for me, it’s fun for the other actors, it’s fun for the crew, and with both of those roles there was lots of laughter on the set and a lot of joy because you would improvise and say something really funny. It’s always a lot of fun when you can hear people cracking up on the other side of the camera and I like that quite a bit.”
    “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” will also include new scenes of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Ben Affleck’s Batman, Ray Fisher’s Cyborg and Ezra Miller’s The Flash. Amber Heard and Joe Manganiello are also added to the cast to reprise their roles as Mera and Deathstroke respectively.
    The movie is scheduled to be released March 18 on HBO Max.

    Zack Snyder Claims His 'Justice League' Cut Includes Over Two Hours of Unseen Footage

    HBO Max

    Speaking about his mini-series will debut in 2021, the ‘Batman v Superman’ director reveals the biggest change will affect Ezra Miller’s the Flash character and his power for super speed.

    Nov 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Moviemaker Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” revamp will feature well over two hours of unreleased material.
    The director was forced to abandon the 2017 superhero movie due to a family tragedy, and hand over the reins to Joss Whedon, but when disgruntled fans demanded to see the film that he would have completed last year, a ‘Snyder Cut’ campaign was launched and Zack has been piecing together a four-hour epic for HBO Max for much of 2020.
    The mini-series will debut in 2021 and Snyder reveals it won’t look much like Whedon’s version of his film.

    “I am looking at the actual visual effects shots because the cut is locked, so I’m just looking at these shots everyday as they come in,” he tells Vero. “It’s really exciting and I’m excited for you guys to see the giant amount of movie that you have coming your way… It is probably a solid two and a half hours of unseen footage in this movie.”
    “That’s gonna be fun for everyone to experience this for the first time.”
    The director reveals the biggest change will affect Ezra Miller’s the Flash character – and his power for super speed: “I know a lot of people love that aspect of it; I just don’t… I think it goes against physics. You (can) say they’re (people) protected by the Speed Force, but that’s open to interpretation.
    “I feel like if you grab someone at the speed he’s moving at, you could literally tear their arm out of its socket. He’s moving so fast, it would literally peel the flesh off of somebody’s body, so he’s gotta be super careful with humans inside of the Speed Force.”

    New Trailer for Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' Is Dramatic Take on Pivotal Moments

    [embedded content]

    Offering glimpses of never-before-seen footage, the latest sneak peek for the HBO Max movie mostly shows scenes in slow motion while being set to Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’.

    Nov 18, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Here’s a new look at the long-awaited “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”. Ahead of its re-release, a brand new trailer for the movie has been released by HBO Max, both in black and white as well as in full colors.
    Set to Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, the sneak peek comprises of mostly pivotal moments in the film. They’re often presented in slow motion that aptly adds the dramatic feels. It offers glimpses of never-before-seen footage, either from unused footage or newly-filmed scenes, while teasing a heartbreaking sacrifice and The Flash’s potential love interest among other things.
    Synder’s cut of “Justice League” has been a constant conversation since the 2017 movie received mixed reviews and had an underwhelming performance at box office. Fans demanded Synder’s cut be released, after Joss Whedon replaced the former during post-production when the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” helmer was dealing with a family tragedy.

    The project was officially announced in May of this year. The restoration that reportedly cost around $70 million includes the visual effects, score, editing and additional shooting. The Snyder cut will be released as a four-part miniseries in 2021, with each episode being an hour long. This will be followed by a version that combines the episodes into a four-hour film.
    Synder previously said that although the main villain in the movie is Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds), the popular comic book villain Darkseid would make an appearance in his cut of the movie. “It will be an entirely new thing, and, especially talking to those who have seen the released movie, a new experience apart from that movie,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in May of his new cut.
    Additionally, Jared Leto is said returning for the reshoot and will get a different look. Meanwhile, Joe Manganiello is rumored to reprise his role as Deathstroke after he recently debuted a bold new blue Mohawk look.

  • Jared Leto Returns as Joker for Zack Snyder's 'Justice League' Cut

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The actor playing Batman’s supervillain in the 2017 movie has joined in the shooting of additional footage for the ‘Snyder Cut’, which will be released on HBO Max.

    Oct 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jared Leto is back as Joker for “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”. The actor will reprise his role as Batman’s arch-nemesis in the filmmaker’s version of the DC-Warner Bros. superhero movie, after he was forced to exit in 2017 during post-production due to a family tragedy.
    Leto has now been called back by Synder and joined Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher as well as Amber Heard for the shooting of additional footage of what is dubbed the “Snyder Cut”. It is unknown, though, how big his role will be in the film.
    Leto was previously reported upset with Warner Bros. when the studio tapped Joaquin Phoenix for the title role in standalone Joker film. Both the actor and the studio, however, were apparently able to smooth things over and allow for his return for Snyder’s version of “Justice League”.
    And getting back into the role might not be that hard for the “American Psycho” star as he has been maintaining his buffed physique lately. On the same day news of his Joker return broke, he shared a thirst trap for “hump day” while urging people to vote.

    The selfie saw the 48-year-old actor/singer almost naked while taking the picture with his cellphone. Focusing on his ripped chest, he cropped out most of his face in the image, but it can be seen that he currently doesn’t sport full facial hair which he has grown in the past. “Happy hump day,” he wrote in the caption, adding, “P.S. Don’t forget to vote.”

    Back to “Justice League”, Synder was replaced by Joss Whedon, who oversaw reshoots and post-production, after his exit. Despite receiving mixed reviews, Whedon’s cut had an underwhelming performance at box office, grossing a total of $657.9 million worldwide against an estimated break-even point of as much as $750 million.
    Fans then demanded Synder’s cut be released, with Affleck and Gal Gadot supporting the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign. In May of this year, Snyder announced that he’s working to complete his version of the movie, which will cost over $20-$30 million for the special effects, musical score and editing.
    It will be released as a four-part miniseries in 2021, with each installment being an hour long, followed by a version that will combine the episodes into a four-hour long film. Gadot, Henry Cavill, Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa are also reportedly returning for reshoots.
