Apparently, Jared Leto is doing his job as The Joker.

According to Suicide Squad co-star Scott Eastwood, the Oscar winner is so into the role that it's hard to approach him.

"I was sort of afraid to approach him because I didn't want to mess with his thing going on," Eastwood told E! Online. ."But I knew him before. I met him before he was The Joker. I just met him as Jared Leto. So I didn't know if I wanted to mess up his thing."

Leto, who has starred in films like Fight Club and The Dallas Buyers Club, has been spotted on set on numerous occasions, apparently playing a version of The Joker that is -- as much of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice seems to be -- inspired by Frank Miller's take on the Dark Knight and company.

Ayer will direct the film, which stars Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Jay Hernandez as (we assume) El Diablo, and Cara Delevingne as Enchantress. Viola Davis will play Amanda Waller. Ed Harris and Jackie Earle Haley are rumored to appear as well.

The film will be in theaters on August 5, 2016.
