Jared Leto has reportedly lost a major movie role amid sexual misconduct allegations, according to multiple industry insiders. The actor was said to be "extremely interested" in the project, which was to be directed by Sam Levinson, and had been in direct talks with the director throughout 2025. One insider described the casting as "seeming like a done deal."
However, producers were allegedly aware of accusations surrounding Leto, which have resurfaced in recent months. The allegations, which have not been proven in court, have led to a reassessment of his involvement in the film. The project's title and studio have not been officially confirmed.
Leto's representatives have not commented on the reports. The actor has previously denied similar allegations. This development comes as Hollywood continues to grapple with accountability for misconduct.
