Some online commenters have suggested the BBC released the film on the 2026 movie calendar because Leto’s recent box office struggles had weakened his position in Hollywood. When asked about chatter that the documentary came out after Leto had become “box office poison,” McShane said:To me it’s completely irrelevant whether he’s ‘box office poison’ or not. McShane acknowledged that some of Leto’s recent movies have struggled , but she argued that he remains a major celebrity with access to prominent roles. The magazine eventually ran accounts from nine women who accused Leto of sexual misconduct, allegations his representative denied. Four women accused Leto of sexual misconduct when they were teenagers, including allegations of sexual assault, statutory rape, explicit calls and sexual propositions.
