Actor Jared Leto is no longer attached to Barry Levinson's political thriller Assassination, with multiple sources telling Page Six that the decision came amid mounting sexual misconduct allegations against the Oscar-winning actor.

According to the report, Leto had been in advanced talks to join the film in 2025 and was "extremely interested" in the project. The actor was reportedly in ongoing discussions with director Barry Levinson, with one source describing the casting as "seeming like a done deal."
