The Joke’s not up for Jared Leto…

Warner Bros. is apparently in early development on a Joker and stand-alone film in the Suicide Squad universe starring the 46-year-old part-Spanish American Oscar-winning actor, according to Deadline.com.

Letowill also reportedly executive produce the film.

No writer or director are assigned at this time.

Meanwhile, Suicide Squad 2 is going into production some time next year.
