While Jared Leto has yet to appear in a comic book movie, he was recently cast in one of the most iconic comic book villain roles of all time. Leto is following in the footsteps of Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, and Heath Ledger.

Leto will be playing The Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie from Warner Bros., which is based on the DC Comics team. While Leto is known for his long hair, he posted a photo to Instagram on Christmas Eve of himself with much shorter hair. He dubbed his new look as his 2015 haircut, and many fans have been speculating that maybe he got it cut for his role as The Joker.
