The actor skipped out on the movie\u2019s world premiere event, didn\u2019t take part in the press junkets alongside Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin and Idris Elba. Plus he hasn\u2019t posted about the movie on social media \u2013 despite being active on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jaredleto\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Instagram;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Instagram&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Instagram<\/a> otherwise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jared Leto allegedly \u201cwasn\u2019t thrilled\u201d with <em>Masters of the Universe<\/em>, according to Puck News (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/movies\/news\/2138414-jared-leto-masters-of-the-universe-unhappy-report\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:ComingSoon;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;ComingSoon&quot;}\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon<\/a>), and that\u2019s why he\u2019s stayed clear of promoting it. Amazon has also reportedly been \u201cdownplaying\u201d his involvement as well. While there\u2019s positivity around those who\u2019ve seen the upcoming movie, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficepro.com\/long-range-forecast-amazon-mgm-faces-a-new-theatrical-test-with-masters-of-the-universe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Box Office Pro;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Box Office Pro&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Box Office Pro<\/a> it\u2019s looking at a $25 to $35 million opening weekend range, which isn\u2019t good news for a movie that allegedly cost $175 million in production costs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Other Reasons Why Jared Leto Is Sitting Out Masters Of The Universe Press Tour<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While Jared Leto could be avoiding promoting <em>Masters of the Universe<\/em> due to not liking the film or it heading toward becoming a commercial flop, there\u2019s also quite a few reasons why Amazon MGM Studios might also want to not associate with the actor either. For one, Leto was accused of sexual impropriety back in June of last year (per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2025\/jun\/07\/jared-leto-accused-sexual-impropriety\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:The Guardian;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;The Guardian&quot;}\" class=\"link \">The Guardian<\/a>), which included allegations of him flirting with teenagers and having \u201cpredatory\u201d behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Additionally, the last movie Leto starred in <em>Tron: Ares<\/em> which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/jared-letos-tron-ares-rough-191218603.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:had a $33 million debut;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;had a $33 million debut&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">had a $33 million debut<\/a> before stumbling at the box office with a $142 million worldwide box office haul against a $220 million production budget. Many believe that this had to do with Jared Leto leading the movie, but we should also note that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/jared-leto-tron-ares-flopped-153452009.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:one insider suggested that the Tron film would have flopped with or without him;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;one insider suggested that the Tron film would have flopped with or without him&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one insider suggested that the <em>Tron<\/em> film would have flopped with or without him<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While Jared Leto\u2019s name and face was all over <em>Tron: Ares<\/em>, in <em>Masters of the Universe<\/em> the actor literally plays a character that looks like a skeleton, so there\u2019s less inherent connection with the actor.
