Jared Leto to play the most damaged yakuza ever in The Outsider
According to Deadline, Jared Leto has signed on to star in an “action thriller” called The Outsider, about an American soldier imprisoned in post-WWII Japan who is freed by his yakuza cellmate. To pay back this debt, he begins working with the yakuza and “navigating the dangerous criminal underworld,” which will probably work out wonderfully for him. Leto will play the American soldier, obviously, and Deadline points out that this will only be his second acting gig since winning the Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club—the first, of course, being the upcoming Suicide Squad.
