Forbes ' Mark Hughes report that the soloJokerfilm andTheJoker & Harley Quinnmovie have both"fallen by the wayside"at Warner Bros. There is no word on if either undertaking could resurface at a later gunpoint in clock time , but that would appear to be unlikely at this stage .
The potential cancelation of the solo moving picture is not too surprising since it never gained much adhesive friction to begin with . The studios were never able to formally hire a writer or music director for the project . TheJoker & Harley Quinnfilm on the other hand hadGlenn Ficarra and John Requa attached to write and lineal . They revealed last surrender that thescript was doneand they were just waiting on the studios to give them the green light to make it . If this report is right , then that call never occur .
Although the lack of Leto / Joker projects now in - exploitation may add up as a surprisal to some , the written material appear to have been on the wall for a while . Leto was throw off by Sony as the confidential information of fellow comic book movieMorbius , and based on the winner this creation has had withVenom , he could soon be tied up in an expansive Spider - Man spinoff universe of discourse . His casting as Morbius reportedlywould not veto him from meet the Jokerin the future , and while that may be the case , it does look that both sides have move on . So unless something changes , we should n’t expectThe JokerorThe Joker & Harley Quinnto ever make it in their current data formatting .
