Jared Leto has given the world the clearest look yet at how he will look as the Joker in Suicide Squad, courtesy of an image on Snapchat.

You can check out a clear image of Jared Leto’s Joker, which sees him with green hair, a pale face, and smeared red lipstick, below.

The movie-world reacted uproariously to Leto’s picture, which appears to confirm that the actor’s interpretation of the Joker has been inspired by the renowned graphic novel The Killing Joke.

This picture comes just a few days after Jared Leto recreated a famous image from the novel while he was spending time with director David Ayer, who is overseeing Suicide Squad.

Which was eerily similar to this picture.

Jared Leto has spent the last few weeks transforming his appearance ahead of his portrayal of the Joker, while it’s also been suggested that he’s been practicing his voice as the character while appearing on stage with his band Thirty Seconds To Mars.

Meanwhile, last month Jared Leto interrupted an interview that he was conducting with Billboard magazine, via Screen Rant, to reveal that he was attempting to beef up for the part. Leto asked his interviewer, “Do you mind if I eat a little? I’m trying to gain a lot of weight. It means I have to eat every couple of hours — and I’m terrible at eating a lot.”

David Ayer has stepped up his Suicide Squad announcements over the last few weeks, as the blockbuster enters production ahead of its release on August 5, 2016.

Then on April 13, David Ayer took the time out of his busy schedule to confirm that Suicide Squad’s shoot had begun.

As well as Leto, Suicide Squad will also star Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Viola Davis as Amanda Walker, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, while Jim Parrack, Adam Beach, and Ike Barinholtz’s roles are yet to be confirmed.
