Leonardo DiCaprio Wants to Reprise This Iconic Role

Watch:Leonardo DiCaprio Reveals Best Part of Working With Teyana Taylor

Leonardo DiCaprio is sounding the wolf call.

While the Oscar winner will soon appear in the film One Battle After Another, he’s open to revisiting one of his most popular movie characters, corrupt stockbroker Jordan Belfort from The Wolf of Wall Street.

“It would be fun,” the actor exclusively told E! News‘s Will Marfuggi in an interview that aired Sept. 10, “to do more Wolf of Wall Street stuff.”

Indeed, the role in Martin Scorsese‘s 2013 film—which also starred Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey and Jonah Hill—is an extra special one for DiCaprio, given it earned him his fourth Oscar nomination. The Titanic star went on to win an Academy Award in 2016 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for The Revenant.

In Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another, he stars alongside actors such as Benicio Del ToroSean Penn and Teyana Taylor.

The actress, DiCaprio told E! at the film’s premiere, has “the best sense of humor.”

“I knew when she was mentioned for this movie,” he recalled. “I was like, ‘This girl is gonna bring the heat.’ And she did.”

And while DiCaprio has brought the heat himself to over 30 films, there is one role he wished he hadn’t turned down—adult film star Dirk Diggler in Anderson’s Boogie Nights, which was ultimately played by Mark Wahlberg.

“I’ll say it even though you’re here,” DiCaprio told the director in an interview published by Esquire in August. “My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights. It was a profound movie of my generation. I can’t imagine anyone but Mark in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece.”

Anderson had confirmed in 2017 that DiCaprio had turned down the lead role in Boogie Nights. The 1997 cult favorite filmed at the same time as Titanic, the blockbuster that launched the former child star to international stardom.

“There was Leo vs. Mark, because Leo just decided not to do the film,” Anderson explained on The Bill Simmons Podcast. “Leo and I will work together one day, and it’ll be the right film.”

One Battle After Another is set for release Sept. 26.
