I would argue that “insiders” in this case are the people who listened to Jared Leto directly.

Jared Leto was one of the main producers of this movie, so he was the one selling himself as the star. “My cult will love it!”

Absolutely. This franchise talk is just insanity. 1 of 3 Tron films, 2 of however many now-canceled DC films amounting to like a minute of screentime in total, 1 of 2 Blade Runner films...that's not the resume of a franchise-carrying actor. That's barely the resume of an actor who's been in franchises.

Other than suicide squad, what other DC film was he in?

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That Harley Quinn one. Oh and I guess he was in the end credits of Justice League I think

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't remember the Harley quinn movie at all. I saw it, but... Yeah. Nothing really left an imprint to my memory.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Haha, I can honestly say I'm not sure if I saw it or not

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lol I know I saw it. I just remember nothing from it. So it must not have been that good. Or that bad, I guess.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I remember Harley doing some acrobatic stuff on a rope but I think that might have been Suicide Squad. Whichever movie it was that's all I remember anyway haha

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You might be thinking of THE suicide squad. She gets on a rope to kill the general and take his keys.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I like James Gunn and enjoyed The Suicide Squad, that could be it. In which case I remember nothing from Suicide Squad or Harley Quinn. Assuming I saw them anyway, which I think I did.

I remember suicide squad mostly from Margot Robbies outfit. Also there was a fire guy, he was pretty cool. And cara Delevingne as enchantress, that wasn't bad. But the movie as a whole sucked ass.
