Jared Leto has been talking about the Joker’s journey in Suicide Squad, stating that he has no idea where the character disappears to for the film’s second half, and expressing disappointment that so many of the his scenes were cut from the film.

Half-way through proceedings Joker’s helicopter crashes, and we don’t hear from him again until the film’s final scene. And when we asked Leto what the character was up to in the interim, he didn’t really know.“That’s a good question. I have no idea. I think he probably went and had a drink or something. Stretched – once you get blown up in a helicopter your muscles get a little tight.”We also asked Leto if he was upset about any of his scenes getting cut – as previously reported – to which he responded.“Were there any that didn’t get cut? I’m asking you, were there any that didn’t get cut? There were so many scenes that got cut from the movie, I couldn’t even start. I think that the Joker… we did a lot of experimentation on the set, we explored a lot. There’s so much that we shot that’s not in the film.“If I die anytime soon, it’s probably likely that it’ll surface somewhere. That’s the good news about the death of an actor is all that stuff seems to come out.”As IGN left the room we told Leto we hope he doesn’t die anytime soon, to which he rather darkly responded “We all die.”Suicide Squad is in cinemas now.

Chris Tilly is the Entertainment Editor for IGN in the UK and reckons Joker was watching BvS in those missing hours. He can be found talking nonsense on The Superhero Show and Twitter
