Latino-Review reports that Viola Davis (Prisoners) has nabbed the role of Amanda Waller in David Ayer's upcoming big screen adaptation of Suicide Squad. She was among those eyed for the role when the cast was announced officially earlier this year, with Oprah Winfrey and Octavia Spencer also said to be in the running at the time. However, it now appears as if The Help star has joined the already amazing cast which includes the likes of Jared Leto, Will Smith, Tom Hardy, and Margot Robbie. The only possible issue is her TV schedule - Davis stars in How To Get Away With Murder - but they will more than likely find a way to work around that. Thoughts on the casting?

@Minty Co-sign. Really underrated, can't wait to see her in BLACKHAT.

Also, tomorrow is Age of Ultron day. The embargo for the set visits expire in the morning.

Great choice! Suicide Squad is looking great!

I know it's not likely, but I hope they announce that Deathstroke is also in the film.

Would have preferred the other two, but great choice either way. The list was not one you would lose from.

Latino Review casting news is always legit, so thank god Viola Davis is Amanda Waller. I knew it the the moment Geoff Johns followed her on twitter in the beginning of November that Viola would be Amanda Waller.

They probably had to go with Viola Davis because they spend half their budget on Will Smith's salary alone. You can either afford Smith or Oprah, but not both.

I think Jai Courtney will be fine... it's not like Captain Boomerang is a very complicated character other than his overt racism :P
