Please stop casting Jared Leto in comic book movies 0

[Randall Dowling]

Or maybe all movies.  I can't think of a single role he's played that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story I was watching.  He's just not a good actor.

Feel free to agree/disagree

But...he looks so very troubled. Those eyes, how they brood!

[Old_Man_Adam]

I would say IMO the following movies were successful DESPITE his appearance - some small and some larger than others 

“Fight Club “

”Thin Red Line “

“ Blade Runner 2049”

“Switchback “

and for sentimental purposes
“ My so Called Life” 

fight club and thin red line are high on my list of favorite movies 

I also feel “ Dallas Buyers Club “ as well as “ Requiem for a Dream “ were good flicks 

I can’t say he’s ever had a stand out amazing performance and loathed his casting as the “Joker” as well as  musically ( and I use that term loosely ) 30 seconds to Mars

He definitely ruined joker for me.  I think the OPs sentiment is shared by the vast majority. However, I hope he pulls this off because to waste this character would be a travesty.

I hated his Joker, but I will leave my judgement regarding Morbius until I have seen it.

A travesty? Are we still talking about Morbius?

Why yes, yes we are

[MetalPSI]

I agree with you. The only character of his I've enjoyed was Paul Allen 

[Skylath]

While I can't say I necessarily hate Leto's castings in movies, I prefer that other actors had gotten the parts on more serious merit.

 

...That being said, I can't help but feel that it's the stigma for male vampires to just look effeminate now. Could that be stopped, please?

I don't know that that's new. They've always had narrow faces, gaunt figures, and the like. 

That said, I do see the appeal of packing on some muscles.

The new Netflix Dracula doesn't look effeminate however they did make him bisexual....

I’ve given Leto a fair shot, I wanted him to succeed. However, I’m done with him...this trailer is the straw that broke the camel’s back for me...

[speedcake]

I hadn't seen the trailer until just now. I wanted to be excited about this, but I'm not.  It looks extremely cookie cutter and flat. Hopefully later trailers will add something more. I don't mind the lead, certainly am not going to avoid watching a movie just because hes in it.

Jay Leno too-its gonna be a no from me

To me, it looked like someone was cribbing camera shots from a Batman movie: i.e., bats swirling upwards in a funnel.

I am curious. Why all the hate for Leto? What is it about him and/or his acting that makes people react so strongly? Lots of people I know tell me they "hate him."

[Callaway29]

I liked him in lord of war...
