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

[mat-chow]

In the realm of race change, I'd be fine with any of the above mentioned possibilities. None of the male SS characters are iconic enough in their "whiteness", IMO.

What if they want Margot Robbie, not for Harley Quinn, but for Cheetah? Just a thought.

 

[Cain]

I hope Will Smith passes on this.

I do too but only because I've never been a fan. At the same time I can't objectively say that his star power wouldn't help the movie and the IP overall either. Look at how many people all of a sudden decided to read I Am Legend after ignoring it for so long just because they enjoyed the crappy adaptation that he starred in.

I'm ok with this.

She could also be Killer Frost

 

[Loki882]

I don't know about that. Is Deathstroke still a contract killer? Yep. Is Lawton still also a killer for hire? Yep. Are both cool characters? Yeah. I love both. But neither is really suited to some kind of anti-hero role. They are straight up killers. Quinn is the fangirl of somebody that is a mass killer himself, who beat a teenager to (what was assumed at the time to be) death. These are BAD, BAD, people, and that's the sort of thing that can truly distinguish this project from any other "rag tag band of misfits" CBM property. Deadshot, Slade, Quinn... underneath it all these aren't sentimentalists with gruff exteriors and honorable hearts of gold. These people are the predators that super heroes keep the public safe from.

Guess what, Elektra's also a contract killer. But that doesn't mean that she's played as being a straight-up 100% evil scumbag, because she's not and neither are Floyd or Slade (usually). They're usually played up, at least in the last few years, as having a certain "code" that they live by, albeit a twisted one. They don't just kill people willy nilly. And Harley is basically a battered woman with a whole host of psychological problems whom even Batman, hardly soft on criminals, has expressed sympathy for in the past.

And then shift her over to the WW movie? A possibility, but does her origin work without Wonder Woman first? Also I'm not sure her appearance and powers will necessarily coincide withe the tone they're shooting for in Suicide Squad, but for that we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Lobo]

Ryan Gosling as Tom Tresser/Nemesis for the Squad then shift him over to

A big thank you to everyone who helped with Fury. We're Number 1! #bestjobieverhad

I know this might sound crazy........ but what if they cast Oprah Winfrey as Amanda Waller?

The thought of her as "The Wall" crossed my mind the other day, and to be honest....... I think it could work.

Mother of god...........

 

[Rorschach2012]

Oprah as Waller would be ideal.

My dream cast:

Manta: Will Smith
Deadshot: Ryan Gosling
Deathstroke: Tom Hardy
Harley: Margot Robbie
Boomerang: Ben Mendelsohn
Amanda Waller: Oprah Winfrey

 

[OnTheAir]

I was thinking, we are limiting are selves in guessing who Will might be up for due to his skin color. Black Manta, Black Spider, Bronze Tiger etc. What if he is a character that is white in the comics? I'm thinking Col. Rick Flag Jr? This way he wouldn't exactly be a villain, and could be Waller's inside man.

This was my thought as well. If he signs on, I'm thinking he will play Rick Flag.

 

[combocaz]

Amanda Waller: Gina Torres
C.Boomerang: Jason Clarke
Deadshot: Ryan Gosling
Deathstroke: Keanu Reeves
HarleyQ: Margot Robbie
Black Manta: Will Smith

 

[BETArayBill]

I'm down for Will Smith in this movie as long as he's not deadshot no thank you to that.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Ayer on Suicide Squad. Captain Boomerrang mentioned

[SlamAdams]

CCH Pounder will always be number 1. Lorraine Toussaint for Amanda Waller. Compelling, authoritative

 

[Lobo]

CCH Pounder will always be my #1 choice as well, Viola Davis, I don't hate the Oprah suggestion surprisingly. Octavia Spencer would be pretty good as well.

 

[Ultra Nolanite]

Hey what of Gina Torres as Waller ??

She's amazing in Suits, real scary and cold. But she's probably too attractive to play Waller.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I would LOVE it if Captain Boomerang was the on the team.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

They should at least have Captain Boomerang, Black Manta, and Harley and have them reappear in the Flash, Aquaman, and Batman solo.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Captain Boomerang
Harley Quinn
Black Manta
Deadshot
Deathstroke

Have any combination of them in it and spin them off into the future solo films of their respective rivals. Built-in momentum.

 

[Boy Scout]

The more I think about it, the more I want Will Smith for Black Manta.

As for Waller, my first choice is Yvette Nicole Brown.

 

[SlamAdams]

I don't really want Quinn in it tbh.

Anyone think they'll trade Manta for Spider. I could actually see Smith as Spider more so than any of the others I think. I suppose with Aquaman officially on-coming they might go for a tie-in.
