Will Smith, Margot Robbie And More Eyed For Leading Roles In David Ayer's SUICIDE SQUAD

Suicide Squad will be Warner Bros.' first non Batman/Superman movie for quite some time, so there's a lot riding on David Ayer's (Fury) take on the villainous team. It's a good job that they're already eyeing some serious A-List talent then, including a former Batman foe!

It's still early days for Suicide Squad (the script is still being worked on, so don't take those roster reports too seriously just yet), but Warner Bros. are already offering some of the lead roles to A-List actors. As well as courting Ryan Gosling - which you can read about by clicking here - The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Will Smith (I Am Legend), Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) and Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises). There's no word on which characters they may end up playing, but fans on Twitter are suggesting Robbie for the role of Harley Quinn, and that sounds just all sorts of perfect, wouldn't you say? Regardless, the fact that the studio are looking at this sort of talent shows that they're taking their DC Comics slate very seriously. Marvel just got some competition in the casting department! Which members of the Suicide Squad do you think they should play? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

I would much rather have watched a Suicide Squad TV show with Deathstrok from Arrow leading it

Wow what a stellar line up so far!
Hope these are real. I could see them having amazing chemistry.

MrBlackJack - 10/15/2014, 4:43 PM
Bronze Tiger is a better fit for Smith. I guess my mind went to Manta first because Manta made some S.S. appearances in the New 52.

I guess I'll reiterate.

Watching Men in Black right now on AMC. Great [frick]ing movie!

Will Smith for Black Manta.

Snatched the article right from under him.

@MrBlackjack
I like what you are saying man now add in two more members and we have a squad.

Mmmm we need more Margot Robbie

If Tom Hardy is Deathstroke, that'll be [frick]ing awesome. Gonna be hard topping Manu though. Doesn't have to though.

And if Margot Robbie does end up playing Harley Quinn, then whoever's idea that was deserves a twinkie.

SHARLTO COPLEY FOR JOKER.

A ragtag team of misfits put aside their vast differences to reach a common goal? I can't think of any other movie that has that premise.

I also nominate James Franco, Jude Law, Willem Dafoe for the audition for Joker challenge

Tom Hardy can easily top Manu's Deathstroke because he can actually cut a motherf*ckers head off in the movie multiple heads actually.

Wasnt a big fan of GotG. Suicide Squad however will most likely be a different story.

Isn't every team a group of completely different people putting aside their differences to combat a singular threat no one of them can face?

Sharlto Copley as Joker?

@DudeGuyManBro- You sound as if GOTG's premise was incredibly unique and original. It's not. That plot has been done many times before.

Wow. I'm totally on the Marvel train, but DC is comin' strong right now. It'll be a good next decade for CBMs.
JasonBlue
JasonBlue - 10/15/2014, 4:55 PM
Although considering its Warner Bros, we'll probably get Seth Rogan to play Deathstroke....
