He's The Secret Weapon... David Ayer IS the Director and Script Writer

[Pickleweasel]

Yeah having Harley is a good way of having the Joker without having the Joker lol. I'd expect Joker to be a ways away as far as when we first get to see him.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Moviehole is saying that Smith could be Count Vertigo. Although they also say that Hardy could be Captain Kangaroo. They probably mean Boomerang, but I don't know what the **** is going on.

 

[HAMMER]

I am interested to see what the final roster is. The only character I'd say is definite would be Deathstroke. I could see Gosling as Deadshot, but would WB potentially get an A-list actor with an A-list price tag for a Suicide Squad movie?

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

I don't think they'll use Manta before the Aquaman film.


They could though. It would be an interesting set up if Manta was actively interfering with human affairs prior to the events of Aquaman.

Well the Aquaman film says Manta, Orh, and the Trench in involved. Maybe him and Manta's beef already exists.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I'm guessing they're going to go with the New 52 Squad, just like with the League. So that would be Deathstroke, Deadshot, Harley, Manta and Joker's Daughter (Duela Dent).

That seems like exactly what they are doing.

As for Deathstroke I say he has a 50/50 shot of being in the movie, I don't think he's guaranteed I'd love it if he was in it though.

We can leave out Joker's Daughter. Her backstory and character as a whole is ****ing stupid.

Cheetah was also a Suicide Squad member in New 52. Have her and Manta and you set up a Wonder Woman and Aquaman film.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah, leave out Joker's Daughter. I was just listing the current team.

 

[kvz5]

I'm not convinced yet that they can get all 4 (or even 3) but if they do, it's amazing how this film has (arguably) bigger and better actors than the BvS film.

Robbie better than Adams in acting?

 

[kvz5]

I was talking about the 3 leads.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

While Adams is good, holy ****ing **** was Robbie just so Goddamn fine in Wolf of Wall Street.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think my ideal team would be Deadshot, Deathstroke, Manta, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang,and Parasite

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Deathstroke, Deadshot, Harley, Boomerrang, Manta, Cheetah.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Deathstroke, Deadshot, Harley, Boomerrang, Manta, Cheetah.

that basically makes the Suicide Squad the Legion of Doom or the Anti JL and i ****ing love that idea.

Superman/Deadshot
Batman/Harley
Wonder Woman/Cheetah
Aquaman/Manta
The Flash/Boomerang
Cyborg/Deathstroke

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Deathstroke, Deadshot, Harley, Boomerrang, Manta, Cheetah.

Not going to lie, I would love this line up.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Deadshot: Ryan Gosling
Manta: Will Smith
Deathstroke: Tom Hardy
Cheetah: Eva Green
Harley: Margot Robbie
Boomerang: Ben Mendelsohn

To pose a question that I saw in the antman threads,
I'm a casual, as in I know nothing about suicide squad. What should get me excited about this film exactly?

 

[Rorschach2012]

To get a feel for the Suicide Squad, watch the JLU episode "Task Force X", watch the Arrow episode "Suicide Squad", and watch the animated movie Batman: Assault on Arkham.

Pretty much this. Think of the Suicide Squad as The Dirty Dozen meets Ocean's Eleven meets the Guardians of the Galaxy, but with a much higher murderous streak and far more bad ass. David Ayer directing this is a feather in WB's cap, but getting any of these actors would put it over the top.

Just don't watch the Smallville version.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Margot as Harley has been my dream casting for months, gonna be real disappointed if she's playing someone else.

Hardy as Deathstroke, Gosling as Deadshot, and Margot as Harley..... WB PLS

and Will Smith, sure whatever

It's the Dirty Dozen with Super Powered villains, and on each mission somebody dies a gruesome death. In SS stories you get to explore the depths of villains away from their usual adversaries, and also see crazy villain on villain match ups. They operate in the shadowy underbelly of the DCU. Plus, the Squad helps to explain why some villains get out of jail frequently to cause havoc again and again. And yes, the TASK FORCE X (the official name of the team) episode of JLU is a perfect example of the potential of the Suicide Squad concept.

Is it weird that they are doing the casting so fast?

I mean, the script has not even been written yet. Unless they used the old script as
a blueprint but the lineup in the old script does not include Harley.


Normally casting is done after the script has been written. And the director has not even been confirmed yet.


And why all those A-list actors/actresses? I was hoping WB would cast some young up and comers for the roles instead.


A-list actors/actresses usually have ridiculous high salary demands and I'm not sure if it is worthy for WB or not.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I must be missing something... IS the casting of Robbie and Smith ect. confirmed? Do we know for sure that this is going to be done with the characters that people keep throwing out?
