Viola Davis Nears Deal To Play 'Amanda Waller' In SUICIDE SQUAD And Multiple DC Movies

Viola Davis had confirmed herself earlier this week that she was working out her schedule to play Amanda Warner in David Ayer's Suicide Squad adaptation, but now The Wrap has learned that the two-time Oscar-nominated actress is near signing the dotted line. While her commitments to ABC's How to Get Away with Murder series have made negotiations "tricky," the source suggests that things are expected to be finalized in the coming weeks; especially given Will Smith, who plays Deadshot in the film, "personally lobbied for Warner Bros. to do whatever it takes to cast Davis." Anyway, the other intriguing, yet highly-expected, tidbit from the casting report is that Viola Davis will have a multi-picture contract that will allow her to portray "The Wall" in other DC Comics movies; most likely the two-part Justice League flicks. So, basically Amanda Waller may end up being the Nick Fury of DC's Cinematic Universe, which was among other things Warner Bros. attempted with Green Lantern in which Angela Bassett played the character. What do you think?

Directed David Ayer from his screenplay, Suicide Squad stars Will Smith (Deadshot), Tom Hardy (Rick Flag), Jared Leto (the Joker), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Boomerang), with Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), and Jessie Eisenberg (Lex Luther). The film opens August 5, 2016!
