Warner Bros. Eyeing Leonardo DiCaprio For THE JOKER Origin Story; Jared Leto Unhappy With Studio's Plans

By bringing on Martin Scorsese as a producer, the studio hopes to use the legendary filmmaker to lure his longtime collaborator into the world of comic book franchises.

When news broke last week that Warner Bros. is developing a movie detailing the
origin story of Batman nemesis The Joker, many were surprised to see the name Martin Scorsese listed among the producers.

After all, why would the 74-year old auteur filmmaker behind everything from Taxi Driver to Silence be interested in making the kind of studio franchise fare he has avoided throughout his career? And why would Warners executives, as brand managers of the extended DC Comics cinematic universe, want a legendarily controlling and free-spending talent involved in its marquee property?

The answer involves a plan worthy of The Joker himself. Sources say Warners will make an ambitious attempt to use Scorsese to bring Leonardo DiCaprio into the world of comic-book movies. Certainly, Scorsese’s involvement in The Joker film, which The Hangover filmmaker Todd Phillips would direct, could elevate and diversify the studio's contributions to the genre, creating the potential to make awards-worthy films such as Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy.

There's no offer for DiCaprio, and sources say Scorsese's deal to produce isn't even done yet. The chances of landing DiCaprio could be slim to none. But the attempt in itself sends a signal to talent that Warners wants to hire serious filmmakers to make serious films.

This plan was not met with applause in all quarters: Insiders say Jared Leto, the actor who portrayed the Clown Prince of Crime in last summer's Suicide Squad and is slated to reprise the character not just for a sequel but for another spinoff movie (with DC villainess Harley Quinn), was caught off-guard by the plans. Leto is said to have made his displeasure with the notion of multiple Jokers known to his CAA agents, and rival agency WME has been using the concern to court him.

Warner Bros. launched its DC Extended Universe to compete with Marvel Studios with 2013’s Man of Steel. The movies have included the poorly reviewed Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad as well as this summer’s well-received Wonder Woman, which was seen as finally correcting a wobbly series. The movies have a through-line not just of stories but also actors, making them part of a superhero universe.

Now, however, Warners wants to branch off with stand-alone movies that are unconnected to that version of the DC world. The new movies will have non-traditional takes on the heroes and villains of DC, and hopefully, attract actors and filmmakers who don’t typically toil in the comic-book movie world. War for the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves is developing a Batman stand alone that, according to sources, will not star Ben Affleck, who plays the caped crusader in the DC Universe movies (Warners and Affleck have denied he is being replaced). The plan is to launch a separate label for these projects to distinguish them from the rest of the DC films. (Warners executives are acutely aware of the risks of audience confusion.)

For Joker, which could be the initial entry for the label, sources say the studio and Phillips would want DiCaprio or another A-lister to play the character as a gritty crime boss in a Scorsese-esque Gotham underworld.

DiCaprio, 42, has become the most in-demand actor in Hollywood despite refusing to star in traditional franchise pictures. Instead, he has limited his collaborators to A-list directors of (generally) original screenplays, including James Cameron (Titanic), Christopher Nolan (Inception) and Alejandro G. Inarritu (The Revenant, for which he won his Oscar).

But his most frequent collaborator has been Scorsese. The duo has made five successful films together over two decades: The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Departed, Shutter Island and The Wolf of Wall Street.

One conduit between Phillips and Scorsese/DiCaprio is actor Jonah Hill, who starred in Phillips’ War Dogs but worked with DiCaprio in Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street.

 

[raider5]

Jonah Hill for the Penguin. Leo for Joker. Margot Robbie as Harley already.

Wolf of Wallstreet part 2. And we all know Leo just wants them Margot yambs again

 

[rfx45]

Jonah looking slim these days

 

[shogun]

He alternates every few months. Dude is like oprah when she was younger.

 

[dhart48]

Maybe if they got Scorsese to direct this Joker film, they'd have a shot, but it's just not going to happen. Jonah Hill isn't going to help with that either. Leo on another level than all these movies. I wish Scorsese was directing because he'd probably use the same exact film that was used for whatever time period this movie takes place, like he did for every era of The Aviator. Movie would look so dope. If this guy was directing he'd have Leo onboard no question. Then Leo could convince DDL to be the riddler or penguin

Are there any Scorsese produced films that are worth checking out btw? Ones that he didn't direct and only produced but came out amazing?
besides boardwalk empire and vinyl.

Jay Baruchel wishes we all could've seen 'Justice League: Mortal': 'It was going to be special'

Baruchel gets excited describing Mortal‘s “unique” depiction of DC’s big two: the Caped Crusader (Armie Hammer) and the Man of Steel (D.J. Cotrona). “The Superman suit we were going to use is still my favorite that I’ve ever seen,” he raves. “From afar it looked normal, but if you got real close you saw that all of the blue [parts] were covered in super-small Kryptonian writing. It was just gorgeous.”

Hammer’s Batman, on the other hand, had seen better days. “It was a beat-up characterization,” Baruchel remembers. “You saw him bleed, get hurt and get his nose broken. There were pins sticking out of his knee! It was serious and brutal, and kind of what you think it would be with George Miller.”

Both Cotrona and Hammer endured brutal workouts to get into character, Baruchel recalls. “When I got down to [Australia, where the film was being shot], they had already been there for two months and were training like mad men every day,” he says. “They would do weight training one day, and fight training the next. They were going hard, hard, hard.”

 

[Fresh Like Will]

I wonder if Jay Baruchel would ever tackle a CBM. He might be a good fit for something like Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. Goon was a great sports comedy. I liked the second one too, but not as much as the first.

 

[rfx45]

there was supposedly going to be a brutal fight between Supes and WW in that film too

"There’s a scene where Maxwell Lord brainwashes Clark and all of a sudden this guy’s got Superman as a weapon. But in order for me to do this – to get in to a Kryptonian brain – I start bleeding out of every f*cking orifice because it takes that much to get into the head of a Kryptonian. And then I turn him into Red-Eye Superman, and there’s this big a** fight between him and Wonder Woman where he breaks her wrists."

 

[Master Zik]

He'd be good but I don't like the idea as Leo as Joker.

Don't think he'd do it either.

 

[rfx45]

yah I am all for anything Leo does but I think even with Scorsese producing, chances of him being attached to the project would be slim unless Scorsese asks it as a huge favor

with that said, it being like an "elseworld" and not being tied to the franchise where he has to appear in 5 other films is also the only way he might even consider the project

 

[tay1]

I don't like the physique Leo would have for the Joker.

 

[slighted]

Leo probably doesn't wanna be involved in anything with a bad stench on it (DCEU).

Scorsese would be smart not to get involved with this either. I imagine he'll pull out eventually.

 

[Master Zik]

Producing is one thing. I don't ever see Marty directing for DC.

Maybe he'd do some indie joint if he's interested in a superhero film.

I feel like Ben would warn Leo I know he's already warned Matt.

 

[slighted]

And how does Armie Hammer still keep getting roles?

Dude is a bland actor with no charisma. Is it that family $$$?
