He’s played the Joker in Suicide Squad and won best supporting actor in 2013’s Dallas Buyers Club, and now he’s getting ready to become one of the best-known artists on Earth.

Jared Leto will portray Andy Warhol in a forthcoming movie, artnet News has learned from an agent at Creative Artists Agency, which represents the actor and Thirty Seconds To Mars frontman.

The film is to be based on Victor Bockris’s book Warhol: The Biography, a 2003 reissue of his 1989 book The Life and Death of Andy Warhol. Terrence Winter will write the script, and Leto will produce the film along with Michael De Luca (who is producing Fifty Shades Darker).
