‘The Suicide Squad’ Cast Unveiled: Will Smith, Jared Leto Confirmed
Warner Brother's studio unveiled the cast roster for its upcoming DC Comics ensemble super villain movie "The Suicide Squad," Tuesday. Among the stars roped in are Oscar winning Will Smith and Jared Leto.
Below is the list of cast members and the roles they bagged for the movie:
Will Smith as Deadshot
Tom Hardy as Rick Flagg
Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn
Jared Leto as the Joker
Jai Courtney as Boomerang
Cara Delevingne as Enchantress.
Greg Silverman, president of creative development and worldwide production at Warner Bros. Pictures made the announcement adding that the super villain movie will be directed and scripted by David Ayer, the director of "Fury" and "Sabotage."
"The Warner Bros. roots are deep on this one. David Ayer returns to the studio where he wrote 'Training Day' and brings his incredible ability to craft multidimensional villains to this iconic DC property with a cast of longtime Warner collaborators Will Smith and Tom Hardy, and other new and returning favorites: Margot, Jared, Jai and Cara," Silverman said in a statement.
"We look forward to seeing this terrific ensemble, under Ayer's amazing guidance, give new meaning to what it means to be a villain and what it means to be a hero," he added.
The plot of "the Suicide Squad" revolves around a group of deadly villains who are put to dangerous tasks by a government agency in exchange for a shorter prison term.
While the villain roster has already been filled, Warner Bros. still has to announce who would portray Amanda Waller - the head of the villain team (just like Nick Fury in "The Avengers" series). According to Variety, Octavia Spencer, Oprah Winfrey and Viola Davis are among some of the preferred candidates for the role.
