Disney Adds More Quarters to Bring Tron 3 with Jared Leto Back to Life
Tron 3 looked like it had ran out of lives after eight years in development hell, but Disney has decided to add more quarters. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, a concept starring Jared Leto is back in the game with veteran Disney director Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) at the helm. Titled Tron: Ares, the film is said to be a sequel to 2011’s Tron: Legacy, itself a long-in-the-works follow-up to the 1982 special effects pioneer, Tron. The threequel has been bandied about since at least 2015, Leto became linked to the project back in 2017, and in 2020 it came close to happening with director Garth Davis. Now, Disney will try again. So far, no cast members from the previous Tron film...

Jared Leto Made Morbius Crew Wait While Using Fake Crutches to Go to Bathroom
Jared Leto’s commitment to method acting has wreaked havoc on another movie set. In an interview with Uproxx, Morbius director Daniel Espinosa confirmed the actor was so determined to stay in character that he used his crutches to go to the bathroom, slowing down production so much that the crew instead opted to push him to the bathroom in a wheelchair. Leto’s character, known as the Living Vampire, suffers from a rare blood disease that affects his movement. In the interview, a tight-lipped Espinosa — who does his best to keep his head held high despite the film’s terrible reviews — defended Leto’s decision to use the crutches on set, arguing that it helped the actor really understand the pain his character lives with. “I think that what Jared thinks, what Jared believes, is tha...
Morbius Review: Maybe It’s Time for Sony to Give Marvel Back Its Toys
The Pitch: The first trailer for Morbius, the newest effort by Sony Pictures to hold onto the Marvel characters to which it still owns the rights, originally premiered in January 2020, in anticipation of its planned July 2020 premiere. That premiere didn’t happen for, y’know, reasons, but in the literal years since, new trailers for the film have continued to appear online and in theaters, with one of them buttoned by a reasonably funny joke: Its central character, in full monster face, growling “I… am… Venom!” at a thug, then abruptly shifting to a smile to say, “I’m just kidding! Dr. Michael Morbius, at your service.” That moment didn’t just name-drop a previous Sony/Marvel collaboration, but showcased a clever reversal on expectations, not to mention star Jared Leto doling out some very...
Jared Leto’s Morbius Delayed Yet Again
It’s starting to feel like this vampire will never see the light of day. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, Jared Leto’s Spider-Man spinoff Morbius has been delayed yet again, with the January 28th release date pushed back to April 1st. Morbius was originally slated for July 31st, 2020, although the COVID-19 pandemic scuttled those plans. The eternal optimists at Sony had initially rescheduled the movie for March 19th, 2021, before giving up on last year and sinking their teeth into January 2022. Now, with the Omicron variant leading to record case counts, they’re going to try again on April Fool’s Day, which is probably a coincidence, right? It’s not a years-long practical joke because this movie exists, right? They released a trailer and then a second trailer, so i...
Jared Leto’s House of Gucci Method Acting Involved “Snorting Lines of Arrabbiata Sauce”
Jared Leto is a proud method actor who often goes to bizarre and uncomfortable lengths to portray a particular role. In preparing for Requiem for a Dream, Leto lived on the streets with a group of heroin addicts and went as far as to shoot up water. He gained nearly 70 pounds in order to play Mark David Chapman in Chapter 27, and after being cast as the Joker in Suicide Squad he tormented his fellow cast members by mailing them live rats and bullets. For his latest role, Leto portrays fashion designer and business magnate Paolo Gucci in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci. In an interview with i-D, Leto detailed how he got into character, which involved “snorting lines of arrabbiata sauce.” “I did it all. I was snorting lines of arrabbiata sauce by the middle of this movie. I had olive oil for b...

Watch ILLENIUM Debut Unreleased Collab With 30 Seconds to Mars
ILLENIUM‘s latest super-collab could end up being his biggest to date. The famed Fallen Embers producer dropped a brand new alt-rock and EDM crossover featuring 30 Seconds to Mars at the Las Vegas music festival Life Is Beautiful over the weekend. Tentatively titled “Wouldn’t Change a Thing,” the uplifting track is rife with the warm synths and soaring strings of a signature ILLENIUM composition.

Lady Gaga, Unrecognizable Jared Leto Revealed in First Look at House of Gucci
It’s time to meet the Guccis. MGM has unveiled the first look at filmmaker Ridley Scott’s upcoming House of Gucci, which will tell the true crime story of the assassination of the fashion house’s one-time head. The film stars Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani, the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), former head of the House of Gucci. The latter was infamous for putting up a massive legal battle to gain control of Gucci from his uncle, Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino), only to nearly drive the company into the ground with his extravagant spending habits. Maurizio eventually sold his share of Gucci in 1993, and was gunned down by a hit man two years later. Reggiani was tried and convicted of arranging the assassination, and it’s that sordid tale that gets explored in House of Gucci. Scott’s fil...
Jared Leto Says He’s Open to Returning as Joker
Jared Leto’s docket is mighty filled with big-budget franchises, from Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters (i.e. the Spider-Verse) entry Morbius to Disney’s next Tron sequel. Even so, he hasn’t written off reprising his controversial incarnation of the Joker in yet another blockbuster series for the DC Extended Universe. In a new interview on a Variety podcast, Leto said he’s open to returning as the Clown Prince of Crime, despite the fact that the character is absent from both the Harley Quinn spin-off Birds of Prey and the upcoming Suicide Squad sequel. Asked if he’d be interested in cameoing as the iconic DC villain in Wonder Woman 3, Leto said, “It’s hard to say no to that character. There are a very few characters that you play that have absolutely no rules, you know, that you could j...

One of the first movies Warner Bros. is using to smash release windows in 2021 is the Denzel Washington-starring The Little Things.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Leto is heading to the set of what’s officially titled Zack Snyder’s Justice League. He’ll be returning as the Clown Prince of Crime for only the second time, having first debuted as the updated take on the classic villain in 2016’s Suicide Squad.
