Warner Bros had a massive announcement late last night, including the casting of the most iconic villain in movie history. The company gave us the names of who will appear in their Suicide Squad movie in 2016, and the cast is choc full of genuine superstar talent!!
As well as unveiling Jared Leto to the world as the man who will take over the Joker character after Heath Ledger’s amazing performance, Warner Bros announced that Will Smith, Tom Hardy, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne and Jai Courtney will all form part of the group known as the Suicide Squad, a team made up of villains formed by a secret government agency. Warner Bros are also reported to want Oprah Winfrey to play Amanda Waller as the leader of the group, in a role similar to Samuel L Jackson’s Nick Fury!
While there’s no doubting the incredible talent that have been put together for this movie, the real excitement lies with Jared Leto and Will Smith, as both play villains from Batman’s stories (The Joker and Deadshot). All of this could mean at some point in the not so distant future Ben Affleck will have a showdown with Will Smith and Jared Leto onscreen in a superhero movie!! It’s a great day for movie geeks everywhere…!!
