Rumors have run rampant for weeks, months even in some cases, but
it Warner Bros has officially announced the cast of their super-villain
"world-building" Suicide Squad, including a new iteration of the
Joker.
Here's the cast straight from Variety:
Jared Leto – The Joker
Will Smith – Deadshot
Tom Hardy – Rick Flagg
Margot Robbie – Harley Quinn
Jai Courtney – Boomerang
Cara Delevinge – Enchantress
You will
remember that I 100% called Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn back when rumors
began to surface regarding her entering negotiations for the film. Leto is a
pretty inspired pick for the Joker, and Smith as Deadshot is equally so. It's
also nice to see another actor of color taking a lead role in one of these
superhero properties.
Enchantress
is an odd duck here, but I'd wager that's to establish some boundaries on magic
in the DCU.
Variety also
reports that the studio is looking at Oprah Winfrey, Octavia Spencer and Viola
Davis in the role of Amanda Waller.
The David
Ayer-helmed Suicide Squad hits theaters on August 5, 2016.
