First Look: Jared Leto as the Joker in 'Suicide Squad'

By Justin Kroll

After teasing Jared Leto’s look in Warner Bros. upcoming DC movie Suicide Squad for the last two weeks, director David Ayer has now released the first official photo of the Oscar-winner in full Joker makeup.

The photo promises another dark and wild version of the popular comic-book villain.

Suicide Squad, co-starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, is currently shooting in Toronto. The story centers on a group of supervillains hired for a suicide mission by the government that if accomplished would give them a clean slate. The problem: The mission is considered a “suicide mission.”

It opens nationwide August 5, 2016.
