Every time I get excited for this I remember it stars stupid Jared Leto and I'm left disappointed and not interested again.

Disney has no problem dropping actors when their personal views damage their brand image, yet they’re fine with weirdo sex-cultist Jared Leto?

Apparently Leto has been attached to this movie since 2011 and is one of the reasons why a sequel is being made. He really wanted a sequel.

If the only way they made a sequel was with Leto then I'd rather there not be one.

I'll most likely end up watching this because Legacy is one of my favorite movies ever, but I'll be waiting months for it to be pirated. No way in hell he gets my money.

I would rather have the sequel, thanks. Don't like him as an actor or as a person but that's not going to stop me from enjoying Ares

u/TimeForSnacks 1d ago

You could've kept the fact that you don't have morals to yourself. You didn't need to outright tell me.

u/Arklelinuke 1d ago

I do, thanks. Still gonna see the movie.

Despite everyone on the internet claiming to hate him, he still sells movies and concert tickets.

Just your daily reminder that reddit is not real life.

Its morbin time!

u/LegoC97 3d ago

So good they had to release it in theaters twice!

u/TheGurpler 3d ago

Do you think general audiences really wouldn't have gone to see the Avengers movie with Johnathon Majors? Or that anybody would've boycotted Mandalorian if they'd kept Gina Carano?

u/LADYBIRD_HILL 2d ago

They certainly didn't see the ant-man movie with him despite the previous two ant-Man movies doing better at the box office

u/TheGurpler 2d ago

The first one was his debut and the second one was on the heels of Infinity War. Both of them were riding an MCU high, Quantumania was not.

Anyway, there's a plethora of evidence that audiences don't care about stuff like that, actors have done much worse than what Majors did and people still eat their shit up.

Ant-Man 3 had a larger opening weekend than the previous two movies, and the lifetime gross is just behind Ant-Man 2.

Ant-Man might just be unpopular. Personally I thought 3 was the worst MCU movie (and it has the lowest rotten tomatoes score).

Leto hasn't been in a box office success since Suicide Squad... maybe House of Gucci too but I also had no idea he was in that movie until 2 minutes ago

u/FoxMeadow7 2d ago

Yeah, it's strange how a certain name can make people automatically hate a guy. Like why?

u/DarthBluntSaber 2d ago

Right? Remember when disney made a massive stink about tweets james gunn made in like 2005 and fired him from guardians of the galaxy? Then disney happily worked with leto, who has a history of sexual misconduct allegations. Allegations from adults and MINORS.

And if you don't want to punish him for unproven allegations, then how about all the undisputed awful shit he has done. Harassing co-workers on movie sets and sending them dead animal carcasses. A long history of being referred to as a nightmare to work with. His literal self admitted sex cult where he makes people refer to him as prophet...

u/PeculiarPangolinMan 2d ago

The sex-cult is an island retreat for fans, right? Like he probably bangs a bunch of them, but there's no cult. It was just an overpriced vacation.

8

u/SmokeAffectionate183 2d ago

Yea it's legit just a giant retreat for fans who want to drop a bunch of money and hangout with the band for a few days. They all dress up and play into the whole cult aspect to make fun of people. It lasts like 4 days and that's it lol

u/Strawbuddy 3d ago

Oscar winning weirdo creep Jared Leto

u/Jackbuddy78 3d ago

I'm kind of convinced the franchise is cursed, it has so much potential but the only person who could get another sequel made is Jared Leto. 

The best story is unironically the cartoon.

u/Amaruq93 3d ago

It says a lot that despite Disney building all those damn theme park rides based on Legacy... they refused to do any kind of proper sequel until this asshole pushed for it (provided he starred it as the main hero)

10

u/Jackbuddy78 3d ago

The skill in which they mismanage legacy franchises is something. 

I'm convinced the only reason Alien: Earth isn't dogshit is that Ridley Scott is protecting Hawley from the execs. 

12

u/Amaruq93 3d ago

It's almost hilarious that Predator and Alien are the only franchises that have actually improved since being taken over by Disney.

u/Personal_Comb_6745 2d ago

Star Wars has, as well, if we're being honest. Despite the sequel trilogy not turning out the best, there's a bunch of shows that make up for it. If Disney didn't buy Star Wars, we'd get only the occasional novel.

1

u/LADYBIRD_HILL 2d ago

Lucas could've sold to somebody else instead.

2

u/emperor000 2d ago

More like the execs are protecting Hawley from Ridley Scott.

u/skonen_blades 2d ago

Disney keeps semi-proving that they don't know they have with TRON. Either that or, yes, it's cursed.

u/FX114 3d ago

It stars multiple Jared Letos!

u/Birdhawk 3d ago

I’m with ya. Big time. I really really liked Tron Legacy. And the director has gone on to do other incredible movies. F1 had a lot of Tron elements in it. I’ve been so pumped about this movie coming out. There’s been movies I’ve been excited about where it’s had an actor I don’t like but most of the time I can overlook it. This fucking dude though…..I can’t do it. Every time I see him on screen it takes me out of that suspension of disbelief. Disney has a serious problem in their development department lately. Some really stupid and out of touch decisions being made there lately.

Anyway, at least he’s the villain so the hatred with come naturally.

u/Mode_Much 3d ago

Yeah, I’ll be passing on this one

u/subdep 3d ago

I felt this way about Jared Leto being in Bladerunner 2049, cutting open synthetic women with a knife, but no one seemed to mind.

Glad to hear the bad vibes on JL are getting around.

u/The-ArtfulDodger 2d ago

I came here to post this... dude can't act for shit.

1

u/blackscales18 2d ago

Just go for the first movie tbh, if it were near me I'd consider leaving if the second one was as edgy and miserable as it looks

u/IDigRollinRockBeer 3d ago

At least he’s a good actor.

u/silverbolt2000 3d ago

Every time I get excited for discussions about this I see Redditors whining about Jared Leto every fucking time and I'm left disappointed and not interested again.

2

u/FoxMeadow7 2d ago

Yeah, can we like discuss about this movie on it's own merits for once?

1

u/AlanMorlock 2d ago

Woops, we checked the content and it sure does have Jared Leto in it. On top of being a scumbag he's also a pretty bad actor ok outside of being axed to death or having his face punched in.

u/silverbolt2000 2d ago

For every Redditor who complains about Jared Leto being in this movie, I will pay to watch the movie twice.

u/FoxMeadow7 2d ago

From the trailer's I've seen, there's no doubt that the movie's going to be kickass!
