Many people believe that Jared Leto's the Joker will play a prominent role in the upcoming "Suicide Squad", considering that he is one of the most talked about characters in the film. However, it doesn't seem to be the case as ComicBook has shared an idea that the Joker may not appear as many times as expected and may not become a central character of the anti-hero movie.

There is a speculation that the exposure being given to the Joker is disproportionate to how large his role actually is in the film. From all the teasers or images teased, there are only a few scenes that feature Leto's the Joker. For instance, in the trailer debuted at Comin-Con, the Clown Prince of Crime only appears twice, in a car chase with Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, which has Batman on the roof of the car, and at the end of the trailer in which he is seen torturing someone.

His low frequency of emergence in the trailer leads to speculations that the Joker may only appear through flashback or prologue sequences. What strengthens the idea is that Leto didn't appear in a wrap photo which seemed to include the entire cast, suggesting that he didn't spend a lot of time with his fellow cast members.

A recent rumor that Task Force X would team up to track down the Joker after he escaped custody is probably incorrect. The latest idea suggests that the team of anti-heroes is actually tracking down Cara Delevingne's Enchantress.

Based on DC comic books, "Suicide Squad" centers on imprisoned villains recruited by a government agency to perform black operations in exchange for clemency. Robbie and Leto are joined in the cast by the likes of Will Smith, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Adam Beach and Ike Barinholtz. Directed by David Ayer, the anti-hero movie is slated for a release in the U.S. on August 5, 2016.
