Also, they decided to cast Jared Leto. That's enough to keep some people who'd otherwise watch the movie away.

Jared Leto is a producer for the movie and is probably the one trying to make Jared Leto happen.

I was one of the people who stayed away because of Jared Leto.

A random famous person is accused of socially inappropriate behavior and they're banned from Hollywood before any evidence has been presented... But Jared Leto is accused of sexually harassing and terrifying his costars, going overboard with his "method acting" behind the scenes, which brought up a huge public debate over whether method acting was a legit thing or just a sign of poor acting skills... and the dude keeps getting cast in big films.

Does he have friends in really high places or something? Does he have dirt on Hollywood elites? Why is this guy still making movies?!

I think someone else pointed out that he is a producer on the movie. So, I guess he has enough money to throw his weight around, and that gets him more money or something. Ridiculous world, this is.
