Does Jared Leto's Blade Runner 2049 Villain Seem More Like The Joker

Does Jared Leto’s Blade Runner 2049 Villain Seem More Like The Joker?

While previous Blade Runner 2049 trailers only previewed Jared Leto’s ominous blind villain, the latest one details a lot more of his character’s plan and mindset. We can’t help but think that this mysterious bad guy is more a long the lines of the Joker character we wanted to see in Suicide Squad.

“Every leap of civilisation was built off the backs of slaves,” says Leto calmly. “Replicants are the future, but I can only make so many. I have the lock, and he has the key.”

Denis Villeneuve’s highly-anticipated sequel to the immersive 1982 sci-fi thriller is already shaping up to be one of the biggest and most stylish films of 2017. The film features an all-star cast which includes Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Robin Wright, and Dave Bautista. However, it’s Oscar-winner Jared Leto’s Neander Wallace, a replicant manufacturer, that has gained the most attention. He is genuinely creepy (with no pupils in his eyes) as he towers over a naked human and coolly whispers: “Happy birthday”.

Seeing him as Wallace just reminds us again what a powerful actor the 30 Seconds To Mars frontman is and can be under the right direction. Is this the unassailable Clown Prince of Crime we hoped he would portray in Suicide Squad? I mean think about it, would you prefer the wild, over the top, bejeweled teeth and tattooed gangster or this haunting, calculated (yet eccentric) character as the Joker?

The Worse Mistake In Suicide Squad That Everyone Missed

Perhaps there was a missed opportunity here. Perhaps it isn’t all Jared Leto’s fault. Perhaps the strange method acting techniques aren’t too blame. Perhaps the character just read wrong off the page. Perhaps Neander Wallace is really what fans wanted from Leto. Perhaps it’s not too late to fix Mr J in the next film.

“I play a character called Neander Wallace – to be honest, they had me at the name,” Leto admitted in an interview with ES Magazine. “I read the script and fell in love with the character. But I don’t think I’m allowed to talk about it – I may have already got in trouble for telling you the name. I can tell you that the experience of making it was one of the highlights of my film career.”

    No it didn’t.

    If you wanna compare performances to the Joker, compare him with the animated series Joker. The closest live action adaption to that role is Jack Nicholson’s, even though I’m not a big fan.

    Does everyone have to use him for villains now? He’s a good actor but I feel they are over using him now. Tom Hiddleston would not have been a bad choice for this and lets be honest, Tom has much more acting experience behind his name and have proven it countless times. I don’t like Leto, he’s weird and not really front and center acting material. Even his co-stars didn’t really want to be around him when he did Joker cause he tried too hard to be like Heath. I wish they didn’t even remake this movie cause they going to screw it up anyway, like they do with everything…

      No he hasn’t. Leto even has an oscar to back him up. One thing is not liking the person, another is making a fool of yourself because of it. No, he didn’t try to be like Heath, the opposite actually. You need to research about what the hell your talking before anything else.

    The only time I ever enjoyed watching Jared Leto in a movie was when he got his face bashed in in Fight Club.

      Hmmm ya I can see where your coming from. I’d still view him as the Joker but I don’t blame anyone for saying he’s not as long as they still admit he did a good job as a villian
