Suicide Squad: General Discussion and Speculation - Part 3

[Chip Chipperson]

If he's really playing Hugo strange, I just hope I can convince my mind that this whole movie isn't one big Mad TV sketch

There's a part of me that really thinks Ike can pull it off. Scenes with him and leto have the potential to be pretty funny.

 

[YoungE808]

I said the same thing in the BvS thread.

He's really active on snapchat actually. If you check his stories, you can see he's been in Moscow for a while now.

Yeah, but he returned to Toronto a few days ago.

Joe Manganiello @JoeManganiello · 14m 14 minutes ago
To the #SS rumor mill, that's not the character I was in talks for, nor was I replaced by anyone. Never signed on. #DontBelieveTheHype

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Hmm... Could very well mean our assumption that Slade was a character in this at all was a bit presumptuous to begin with. That said, I think with a dye job to his hair that Parrack could be a good choice for Deathstroke, certainly a more solid choice than Joe.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Eh, I don't know that he even needs a dye job yet anyway. If the Slade rumors are true, this movie features him early in the game; still the worlds deadliest assassin but before he loses his eye and all that. So if he looks younger it might not really matter.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

He says that he was 'in talks' for a character. I'm guessing Rick Flag.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

A lot of news, not sure if I like the news but we will have to wait and see.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I for one am very happy. I would have lived with Joe as Deathstroke or any other character in SS, but I can't lie that I am relieved he's not any where near this project or the DCCU as of now.

 

[chamber-music]

I'm liking the cast.

 

[Gee]

Also, Jai Courtney is not in the photo.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Jai Courtney is. He's the bearded dude with the hat.

 

[Urich Leeds]

I feel better knowing that Parrack was (presumably) the first choice, and not Manganiello's replacement.

Still not sure about Ike, but we'll see.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

He is.

 

[Gee]

He is.

Oh, I didn't recognize him. So many bearded dudes...

 

[BravoNolanILuvU]

You described 99% of the people in that photo.

 

[DeadPresident]

Conveniently no Jared Leto in that photo, perhaps because he's looking really Jokery?

 

[Guts]

Then what about Scott Eastwood?

 

[DeadPresident]

Same reasoning applies

 

[Fallen Angel]

Then what about Scott Eastwood?

Still promoting his new movie .

 

[Guts]

Still promoting his new movie .

I'm going with DeadPresident on this. Eastwood looks too Jokery for a photo.

That or he's still doing rehearsals for his 30STM tour. He will still have some dates left while filming is going on. I think a combo of both.

Then what about Scott Eastwood?

Promoting his new movie.

 

[Guts]

For the people wondering where Leto is, these are his remaining tour dates.
Apr 10 • Dubai - United Arab Emirates
May 2 • Ischgl, Austria
May 4 • Gdańsk, Poland
May 6 • Kyiv, Ukraine
Sep 25 • Dubai - United Arab Emirates
He has a show tomorrow in Dubai.

They didn't want Eastwood in the photo because it would've started all sorts of buzz on forums like this about "Why wasn't he cast as Joker!?" t:

Are you being serious or do thou jesteth? Because if he is dipping out of shooting every once in a while for a concert it means at some point a few thousand 30STM fans are going to see a green haired Leto singing random alt tunes. Which is kind of cool.

That's pretty insane. So he's probably prepping for the show in Dubai right now. Hopefully some crowd footage gets released, but he probably doesn't have the green hair yet.

Spy pics will probably be everywhere once shooting starts though.
