As 'Ares' disappoints, insiders question whether the self-styled boundary-pushing A-lister can still be counted on to carry a franchise vehicle to the bank.
This is like trans people calling out a movie that has a trans person played by a cis actor. Hear me out, my point is less offensive than it sounds at first. The guy is a sociopath. If you want a sociopath in your movie, hire a real one. Like, certain actors can be great at a ton of different roles, but trying to get a truly chilling role out of tom Hanks would be far more difficult than with Leto. The same could be said about Leto playing a hero. It just doesn’t work. There’s tons of actors who have done real good work playing villains most of their career. Just accept that that’s who Leto is, that dark, chilling, creepy fucker that everyone wants to see die at the end. That’s the roles he should get. And really the only roles he’s good at. Even an antihero like morbius just doesn’t work. He needs to be full on villain.
You can just say the roles he was good in were written for him, the whole trans metaphor you have at the beginning of your paragraph really threw me because it’s extremely random and pretty clunky.
I do get your point though, he’s good at playing a creep because it’s close to his original personality.
That’s the point I was making. If you want to get the real emotions and headspace of a trans person, who better to do it than a trans person? If you want a sociopath, who better to get in the headspace than a sociopath?
