Last time Jared Leto tried to get a foothold in Sony’s Marvel universe as Morbius – and failed. Now he apparently wants to apply directly for the role of Spider-Man.
Who doesn’t know it? You walk through the streets of Berlin on a leisurely Tuesday afternoon, stop in front of the Hotel de Rome and suddenly there’s Jared Leto hanging on the wall, awkwardly trying to climb to the next floor. This is exactly the image that was revealed to a few onlookers in the capital yesterday.
As soon as the first videos of the unsecured Hollywood star climbing reached the internet, the bizarre moment became a viral sensation: What on earth is Jared Leto doing? Is he applying to be the new Spider-Man after losing Morbius? Did he forget his room key? Or was he just bored?
Spider-Man instead of Morbius: Jared Leto climbs up a Berlin hotel and fails at the first floor
There is much speculation about the background of the action. But nobody really knows what happened to Jared Leto at that moment. After a few sad attempts to gain height, he finally lets go and moves back towards the ground. Below you can watch a video that was filmed with him.

As TMZ reports, Leto was in Berlin for a collaboration with TikToker Younes Zarou. The two were spotted filming near the hotel. Exactly what kind of project it was is unclear. It is possible that Leto’s climbing interlude was part of it. Or maybe he just wanted to re-enact the iconic Adlon scene from Emil and the Detectives. Who can blame him?
In the cinema, Leto can next be seen in Ghost Mansion. The Disney horror comedy will conquer the big screen from 27 July 2023. In addition, Leto has recently been linked to another Tron film. Concrete information on the sequel to the sci-fi series is scarce. However, Leto has been in talks for the lead role.
