Suicide Squad is a comic based film directed by David Ayer and it stars Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis and Cara Delevingne.

While "Suicide Squad" is months away from its release, The Joker (Jared Leto) has hit the headlines in the recent past. Leto goes out of his way to get his role right by freaking out most of his co-stars except Common, who has no problem with his psychotic character.

It is rumored that Leto was nowhere among the cast member of "Suicide Squad," despite his character The Joker being present. In an interview with Collider, Common was asked about his experience working with Leto, and it seems the rapper loved Leto's commitment.

Common said, "I believe in [Jared Leto's method performance]. Whatever way is necessary for you to be that person, so that you can let go and see The Joker, I love that.  From the time I stepped on the set, I was my character and he was his character. There was no in between. It wasn't like, 'Hey, man, how's your family doing?"

There is very little known about Common's Monster T character, apart from being in business with The Joker, according to Cinema Blend. The business linked Common with Leto more than it was the case with any other cast member. Common chose the acting method route and he became his character as much as Leto did.

As a result, the two did a great job to support each other, in addition to helping to establish each other's characters. Apparently, Leto's Joker will be nightmare stuff. In fact, Leto pointed out that he will be locked up after the film hits the theaters when people see what he has done.

Leto's effects are long lasting, but Will Smith said that he has never met Leto amid Deadshot having scenes opposite The Joker.

From the film teasers that The Joker sent a rat as a gift to Margot Robbie, believing that it is something that normal people do. While nobody appeared to have an issue with Leto's commitment, most were in some sort of awe over it. Everybody appreciated Leto's work, although Common was among the few that were not intimidated.

"Suicide Squad if currently undergoing final reshoots that will "increase fun character moments." Watch the teaser below for further details.
