Excited about this, End of Watch was amazing and Fury looks just as good. Think this will be a good fit for him, hopefully its R (probably will be)

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Hopefully it is connected to the DCCU

 

[Mister J]

Jesus, I can barely keep up with all this.

This needs to happen.

 

[Kar]

All these moves DC is making right now is making me so happy. Suicide Squad can be excellent if handled right, and with the "End of Watch" director attached it should be as gritty as it should be. Who'd you all like to see on the line up?

 

[DChero]

Deadshot is one of my favorite characters, so I'm really pumped.

I want them to build this into the DCU, so a Harley appearance would be really cool and give us a better idea of what Batman was like in his earlier years. I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but that's what I'd ultimately want.

 

[Pickleweasel]

While Id like to see people like Bane and Black Manta I think they are too big, Deadshot and Capt Boomerang are gimmes, Harley Quinn should be too but I could see her being too big as well.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Can't have a Suicide Squad movie without Amanda Waller.

 

[Kar]

I want the real Amanda Waller. The Wall. Not Angela Bassett or the chick from "Spartacus". I want THE WALL.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Then it should be Octavia Spencer.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Then it should be Octavia Spencer.

Yep. 1000%

 

[Kar]

Then it should be Octavia Spencer.

That's a fantastic choice. I considered Queen Latifah but this is a better choice. If not Spencer I REALLY want Uzo Aduba. They make her look bigger on OITNB.

And Jane Levy for Harley Quinn.

 

[chamber-music]

Awesome news. Deadshot should hopefully be in this.

 

[Tec15]

The script that was floating around also had Vixen, Bronze Tiger and Z-lister cannon fodder like Mindboggler along withe the usual suspects... Wonder if that's the version that they'll use?

 

[Kar]

Vixen was originally a villain?

 

[Dr. Evil]

If they go for the thinner Waller, only one actress should be considered: Viola Davis, especially if they reboot the character.

 

[chamber-music]

Having some z-list villains to kill off is cool.

 

[Kar]

If they go for the thinner Waller, only one actress should be considered: Viola Davis, especially if they reboot the character.

She's a name that came to mind as well.

 

[terry78]

There's another actress that I had in mind for Waller, but damn it I cannot remember her name.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So with Deadpool happening and Suicide Squad likely, the next popular CBM property waiting to be announced is Black Panther.

 

[cleverusername8]

Am I the only one that's against Harley's involvement in the Suicide Squad?

I suppose that they'll need at least ONE super recognizable face within the group to attract non-comic fans who may be familiar with the cartoons/games/animated movies, but I don't think that it'd kill the movie if they didn't do that.

They should spin the movie as an action/espionage drama instead of a straight up comic book film. That way, people won't be put off with a lineup of mostly unknown characters. People who didn't read the Hunger Games books weren't put off by the idea of not knowing who Katniss Everdeen was. Why can't the same apply to a B or C list comic character?

 

[TheComicbookKid]

If they go for the thinner Waller, only one actress should be considered: Viola Davis, especially if they reboot the character.

She's on a Shonda Rimes show. I doubt she will be available.

Spencer's show will get canned soon.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I want the real Amanda Waller. The Wall. Not Angela Bassett or the chick from "Spartacus". I want THE WALL.

Make that two votes for THE WALL

 

[Rorschach2012]

DC is going insane with these adaptations.

and yeah we definitely need a new actress for Waller. Basset was ok, but Arrow's version is not my cup of tea.

CCH Pounder is the best choice by a mile
Octavia Spencer
Viola Davis

 

[p4poetic]

I wonder if this will be connected. I rather it not be, because same universe schtick seems so restrictive to me.

Angela Bassett's Amanda Waller wasn't anything like the comic. And she was a scientist (how random). Arrow's Waller may be too skinny but she's got the personality down.
