Leonardo DiCaprio Wants to Revisit The Wolf of Wall Street—and Fans Are Spilling the Tea

Quinn Parker here, and honey, grab your coffee because the rumor mill is percolating hotter than a French press this morning. An exclusive E! News chat reveals that Leonardo DiCaprio, the king of cinematic curveballs, isn’t done with Jordan Belfort just yet. He hints that it would be “fun” to dive back into the Wolf of Wall Street universe, the role that funneled him into his fourth Oscar nomination and left audiences roaring for more. Yes, Leo is hinting at revisiting one of his most iconic characters, Belfort, the swaggering stockbroker whose rise and fall made headlines the moment The Wolf of Wall Street hit theaters in 2013.

In a conversation with E! News’ Will Marfuggi that aired on September 10, DiCaprio opened up about the possibility of revisiting Belfort. He didn’t commit to a sequel or a prequel, but the suggestion itself is enough to ignite a fresh wave of speculation. The director behind the flagship film, Martin Scorsese, is not exactly a stranger to revisiting beloved figures, and with DiCaprio’s appetite for bold, high-intensity performances, fans are already debating whether Belfort could make a cunning return to the screen.

Meanwhile, DiCaprio is riding the press cycle for Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, which is slated for release on September 26. The movie marks another collaboration with heavyweights like Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, and Teyana Taylor, with DiCaprio praising his co-star for bringing a sharp sense of humor to the set. He specifically praised Taylor’s humor, noting that she was “the best sense of humor” during the project’s premiere. This pivot from Belfort to a fresh collaboration shows the actor’s appetite for variety while acknowledging the lingering glow of Belfort’s cultural footprint.

There’s also a wistful confession about a role DiCaprio passed on early in his career. In a candid Esquire interview, he revealed that his biggest regret was not taking the lead role in Boogie Nights, the Mark Wahlberg-starrer film by Paul Thomas Anderson. Anderson confirmed in 2017 that DiCaprio chose not to pursue that iconic role, a decision that would have altered the trajectory of his career in the late 1990s. The tension between opportunity and legacy is a funhouse mirror that DiCaprio seems comfortable stepping in and out of, especially as he continues to build a filmography that spans two decades of monumental performances.

In short, the Wolf of Wall Street remains a living, breathing piece of DiCaprio’s career theater. He’s not promising a full-blown Belfort reboot, but the mere suggestion of revisiting Belfort is enough to set social media alight and keep curious cinephiles refreshing their feeds. It’s the kind of audacious tease that only Leo can pull off—one moment, the door to Belfort’s world is ajar, and the next, the public is debating whether the movie’s energy could carry a sequel in 2025’s cinematic landscape.

As One Battle After Another rolls out to theaters, DiCaprio’s star continues to pulse with a mix of blockbuster energy and provocative choices. The whisper of Belfort’s return lingers, a delicious what-if that fans are more than ready to chase down on streaming sites, gossip columns, and red-carpet chatter. Will Belfort ever come back for seconds? The answer might be buried in a contract clause, a director’s gut instinct, or simply the right moment when DiCaprio feels the time is ripe for another wild ride.

Until then, there’s the inevitable countdown to September 26 and the next interview snippet, where Leo could drop another bombshell or, at the very least, a gleaming smile that will launch a thousand think-pieces. Buckle up, because the entertainment world loves an actor who keeps one foot in the present and one eye on the history books.

What to watch next: keep an eye on further interviews and any development updates about Belfort’s potential return, and don’t forget to revisit The Wolf of Wall Street for the OG energy while we wait for real proof of a fresh chapter in Belfort’s volatile story.

Okay, I need to calm down after that!
