HOSTEL Star Jay Hernandez In Talks To Join The Cast Of SUICIDE SQUAD
The cast of Fury director David Ayer's Suicide Squad continues to grow, with the latest addition being Friday Night Lights actor Jay Hernandez. Who is he playing? There are a number of possibilities, but one apparently has very close ties to The Joker...
Now that Joel Kinnaman has replaced Tom Hardy as Suicide Squad's Rick Flagg, the cast continues to fill out. The latest addition according to The Wrap is Jay Hernandez, an actor best known for roles in movies like Crazy/Beautiful, World Trade Center, and Gang Related. He's only in negotiations as of right now, and there are no specific details on who the Latin actor will be playing in the movie.
However, the site reveals that, "it’s possible that he could be playing an inmate on the same cell block as The Joker, though there are several other open roles at this time." It sounds like it might be a character from the comic books then, but there's no word on who exactly that will be. The rest of the Suicide Squad cast includes Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevigne and likely Viola Davis and Jesse Eisenberg too. The movie will be released on August 5th.
