Unless Suicide Squad Director David Ayer was going to seriously reimagine the Joker, Oscar Winner Jared Leto was going to have to lose his fulsome beard and waving hair to play the part.
Ayer took the occasion of Leto donning his new hairdo as an opportunity to stoke some excitement about the transformation with social media.
Check out the presented before, during and after shots below.

Can you just make out the sunken eyes and the scars on Leto’s clean shaven face in the last one? No word yet on when we might get our first proper look at Leto in full makeup. I expect they will try to save that for a trailer and Suicide Squad doesn’t even begin filming until next mouth. Until then, our minds can run wild.
