8 Actors Whose Upcoming Movies Could End Their Careers

7. Suicide Squad - Jared Leto

It might seem somewhat crazy to suggest, but think on it for just a second. Imagine if Jared Leto's Joker pales in comparison to that of Heath Ledger's to such an extent that the only thing on the cards ends up being sheer, unabashed disappointment. What if it Leto's performance emerges ill-judged, awkward and trying way too hard? Because c'mon - everybody who sits down to watch Jared Leto in the upcoming Suicide Squad flick will be comparing whatever he does to what Ledger did with The Dark Knight. That was bound to happen; the studio know it, audiences know it, Leto knows it. Leto's taking a huge risk playing the character so soon after said he was immortalised by the late Ledger, and if he screws up... well, can you imagine? Going on how great an actor he is, it's unlikely, but Leto's stock would likely plummet if he turned out a bad performance. And if that happens, you can totally see him disappearing into obscurity forever - hell, Leto has done it a few times before when his career has floundered... what's stopping him now?
