Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - Part 1

[green]

This cast is ridiculously fantastic.
Still trying to grasp it.

IDK why people are worried about the budget, these people aren't getting 20 to 50 mil each.

My guess is Will and Leto got 5-7 mil
Margot and Hardy 3-5
Jai and Cara got like 1 mil

Actually remember seeing Gadot got like 300,000 for WW if that was true Jai and Cara probably got damn near nothing

People are just looking for reasons to be negative and complain. Getting Will Smith to play Deadshot was a coup and a great piece of casting and no....he is not getting 20 mill for this film.

This whole damn cast is impressive! Way to go WB's, Tsjuhara and Ayers! t:

It really is! I want to see the trailer like now Dammit!

People worrying about the budget or criticizing DC for "big names" have myopia.

Just because someone like Tom Hardy is a Hype darling doesn't mean he's a "big name" to mainstream audiences or a box office draw by himself.

Likewise, Margot Robbie is known for ONE movie.

The only "big name" in here is Will Smith. Jared Leto is probably next, mostly because he just got an Oscar.

"Game of Thrones star Aidan Gillen is in advanced talks to play Deathstroke."

The only action movie role that I seen him in was the action comedy movie, Shanghai Knights.

 

[NoLaNitE007]

This film shouldn't be more than 85 to 100 million as far as budget. The action will probably be a bit more grounded and won't require a grand amount of FX work.

Fury's budget was only $68 million

I agree. I think Ayer can make this film for 100 million if need be!

Where is all this "worry" about the SS budget coming from?

 

[NoLaNitE007]

Where is all this "worry" about the SS budget coming from?

There is no worry. A small minority is already complaining about how much Smith is or is not getting for this film and how it effects budget. ..blah...blah.....nothing serious.

 

[Schlosser85]

I do have reservations about Smith, but only hypothetically, as I really hope others like Hardy aren't shortchanged to make the movie revolve around Smith as the "star".

Where is all this "worry" about the SS budget coming from?

People are assuming everyone is getting robert downey jr money

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Where is all this "worry" about the SS budget coming from?

Some people think it'll cost over $150 million and everybody is gettin' RDJ money.

Exactly. I don't get the irrational views.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

The concept of this movie is bonkers and this cast is looking bonkers (in a good way). The idea of WILL FRACKIN' SMITH playing a BATMAN villain still hasn't sunk in yet.

 

[The Shape]

So happy this is happening and that Sony's Sinister Six probably isn't.

 

[Guts]

I really like this response to any of the criticism for will smith's casting.

They'll probably still do it and try to ride the coat tails. I kinda hope it doesn't because Drew Goddard deserves better than Sony

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I could've sworn Sony officially cancelled it already.



Must be my imagination.

Spot on (even though I had to look up myopia to remind myself what it meant)

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Should we expect the addition of Deathstroke and Manta?

I know....and the chances he may show up in more DCU films and maybe in a Batman solo flick with Big Ben? t:

Even though Margot Robbie was rumored up until yesterday, Harley Quinn v.o. actor Tara Strong gave her a big thumbs-up back in November. "Listen y'all... @MargotRobbie captivated me on screen in Wolf...she is a true stunner & is an enchanting actress...she has my vote #Harley"

I like that.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

YES to both. And King Shark.

This one is appropriate also!

 

[Gee]

For King Shark, do you guys want to see his appearance from the comics or something like in Assault on Arkham? Speaking of the latter, his look (metal jaw) reminds me of James Bond's villain Jaws.

 

[dhandler01]

YES to both. And King Shark.

Man seriously...Suicide Squad who would have thunk it!
