Hollywood actor Jared Leto is to rerise the iconic DC villain The Joker for the Snyder cut version of "Justice League".  Recently, Warner Bros announced that the original version of the flick, filmed by the filmmaker Zack Snyder prior to his departure from the project, will debut on HBO Max in 2021. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Leto will reprise his role for Snyder’s reshot production. The actor had played the iconic villain in David Ayer's 2016 antihero ensemble "Suicide Squad".

The project, Tentatively titled Zack Snyder’s Justice League is being overseen by the streamer, which is financing the new round of shooting. The movie will air as a four-episode event series next year. Besides Leto, actors Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher and Amber Heard are shooting for the project currently. Meanwhile, Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, who served as producers of "Justice League", are planning to remove their names from the Snyder cut.

The two were Warner Bros executives at the time of the theatrical release but have since left the studio and are not involved in the Snyder cut.  Berg and Johns were recently called by Fisher for enabling abuse and misconduct by filmmaker Joss Whedon on the set of the 2017 movie.  The report suggests that the producers Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, who had originally bankrolled the film, have now backed out of the film and will not be receiving any credits in Snyder Cut.
