“She’s an ancient sorceress,” Delevingne says of Enchantress “A feral being. She’s been trapped for so long and now she’s finally let out… June is an adventure-seeker who’s always wanted some excitement. And she gets what she wished for, in an terrible way.”
 

Jared Leto discussed his preparation for the icoinic role.

“There was definitely a period of… detachment. I took a pretty deep dive. But this was a unique opportunity and I couldn’t imagine doing it another way. It was fun, playing those psychological games… It was painful, like giving birth out of my p***k-hole.”

Director David Ayer chimed in with some more on the Joker.

“If you don’t break rules, you’re not going to strike new ground,” he explains. “There’s a power to that character, and by some freaking miracle, through the incredible things Jared has done and the photography and all the other things that went into it, we’ve cooked up something transcendent.”

Producer Charles Roven who helemd the Dark Knight Trilogy with Christopher Nolan added a bit more context for this new Joker describing him as “more social” than Jokers past and adding that he is “a very successful and smart businessman.”
