Leto has been teasing his role in the upcoming movie with various videos on social media. In one video posted on February 14, he wished his fans happy Valentine's Day with a clip of him showing off his ripped body in a gym. He mimicked a demon cry that was heard in the video.
Another video had him speaking in mysterious low voice following the first day of filming. "It's pretty fun. Can't wait for you guys to see what we got cooking," he said while he sat in a moving car.
