Leonardo DiCaprio is the favorite to take on the role of the Joker in the new movie about the Batman villain.
Sources say Warner Bros. is interested in an A-lister to play the Joker and it has its sights set on the Oscar-winning actor.
The studio hopes by bringing in Martin Scorsese as the producer. It will help to bring in Leo who has worked with the Oscar-winning director several times in the past.
The rumor comes after it was revealed that Jared Leto, who starred in last year's “Suicide Squad” won’t be back for the movie.
