So, we officially got the cast of Suicide Squad revealed a day ago, and while it's unanimously agreed upon that the casting is exceptional...their is one actress who was only rumored to be in the movie; yet, there was no word (until now) of which character she might be playing. I'm talking about Cara Delevingne as Enchantress.
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this, but Enchantress is a ‘witch’ (as the name might suggest). Witches fall under the ‘supernatural’ banner. AND, when we talk about supernatural in relation to DC Comics, we are usually talking about none other than, you guessed it, Justice League Dark! WAIT, it gets better. Enchantress has had team associations to JLD and also has connections to them in the New 52 as well. Guillermo Del Toro just submitted the script for JLD to Warner Brothers last week, while also saying he is working on a ‘shared universe’ currently. While there was some confusion as to what he meant by shared universe, could this finally confirm that the JLD is in the same shared universe as DCCU?!
Also, the Enchantress has been a part of the Shadow Pact team as well, so we could see them in the DCCU as well? We’ll just have to wait and see. Thanks for reading!
Suicide Squad will be in theaters on August 5, 2016. The film will star two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness, Ali, and the upcoming Focus) as Deadshot; Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises and the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road) as Rick Flagg; Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street and the upcoming Focus, and the Tarzan movie) as Harley Quinn; Oscar winner Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club and Alexander) as the Joker; Jai Courtney (Divergent and the upcoming The Water Diviner) as Boomerang; and Cara Delevingne (Anna Karenina, and the upcoming Pan) as Enchantress, under the direction of David Ayer (Fury). Ayer is also writing the script, which is being produced by Charles Roven (The Dark Knight trilogy, and the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) and Richard Suckle (American Hustle).
