He left becaus of a "loss of trust with the production company" but I expect that given the chance he would love to do the roll again. Some people enjoy the rolls they play and are happy to do them again.

His skills, his filmography, and his status as an actor grew immensely since his last appearance as the other side of W that he is just too expensive to get unless him and his agency come into agreements with Toei somehow. And even if actors such as Suda wanna shout henshin and do their poses most of the times agencies tend to have them decline as they do not want them to be the target of typecasting unless that is the marketing strategy they are going for with their stars. Would be great if Suda reprises but looking at how his career is going it is unlikely. Sorry if my comment came off as snarky but that is not what I was aiming for. I meant to illustrate how it is difficult to get someone of Suda's stature now as opposed to maybe 6 years ago at least. Again I apologize.
But seriously though, would like to see Suda yell henshin and then pass out like the good old days as Kiriyama finishes the henshin process to being W. Joker is cool and all but..... not the same without Suda.
