Jared Leto as Joker
Hollywood Reporter further claims the film’s shooting is currently underway and many actors like Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher and Amber Heard are playing different parts in the project. The report suggests that the producers Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, who had originally bankrolled the film, have now backed out of the project and will not be receiving any credits in Snyder Cut. It remains to see how Jared Leto’s character will be portrayed in the movie, as it did not appear in the 2017 film.
