Suicide Squad casting reveal

Amongst a couple of casting rumors for this upcoming DC/Warner Bros. property we officially get a cast announcement for our new "Dirty Dozen". First in the line up we have Jared Leto playing one of the most famous of villains in Batman's rouge gallery The Joker. When talking about the Joker most people include his lovable psychopathic girlfriend Harley Quinn in the same conversation. Wolf of Wall Street star Margot Robbie will be playing the role of Harley and this will be the first cinematic incarnation of the character since her first ever appearance in the Batman: Annamated Series in 1992. In a surprise twist we have Tom Hardy returning to the DC universe, but not reprising his role as Bane. Tom will be back as Rick Flag. For those who are wondering who that is or the next couple characters are, I will be posting another article about who these characters are and my thoughts about the casting. Next up on our casting news is Will Smith playing another character know for being in the Suicide Squad, Deadshot. This casting news has put me in a difficult spot, because there's no denying that will has an amazing talent in acting, but it seems like now in days he only does movies with his son Jaden Smith (Not very good movies if I might add). Although I have an Idea where they could shoe hammer Jaden in, I'd like to see Will  do this one solo. Jai Courtney will be playing a more lesser known character Boomarang, this won't be the first time we see a live action incarnation of Boomarang, as he will appear in tonight's Part 2 episode of The Flash and Arrow crossover. Last on our list is Cara Delevingne playing a character who has be both hero and villain, Enchantress. The addition to magic in this already well grounded universe set in Man of Steel will be interesting to see unfold and see  pieced together in the over all puzzle. 

That's all the casting news on Suicide Squad for now, I'm The Simple Film Fan and I'll catch on my next post.
