10 Best Jared Leto Movies

By Vlad Zakh · December 30, 2025

Jared Leto disappears so completely into his roles that it’s easy to forget the same actor is underneath, a transformation-first approach that has produced an Oscar and some of the most divisive performances of his generation. Dallas Buyers Club won it. Suicide Squad lets his Joker menace from the margins, Blade Runner 2049 casts him as a blind, messianic tech mogul, House of Gucci makes him a buffoonish heir, and Morbius turns a biochemist into a vampire. Requiem for a Dream, American Psycho, Fight Club, Lord of War and Mr. Nobody round out the list.
