Will Smith, Tom Hardy, Jared Leto and
Margot Robbie will be starring in "Suicide Squad," Warner Bros. revealed
on Tuesday. The film will also feature Jai Courtney and Cara
Delevingne.
"Suicide Squad" is based on a DC Comic and
centers on a group of supervillains who are tasked by the government to
go on a mission that will offer them redemption but will likely kill
them all. Leto will play the Joker, Smith will play
Batman villain Deadshot, Hardy will play Rick Flagg, and Robbie will
play Harley Quinn. Courtney has been cast as Boomerang and British model
Delevingne has been cast as Enchantress, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Jesse Eisenberg was rumored to star in the
project, but he's not part of the official casting. David Ayer is
directing, and Charles Roven is producing. "Suicide Squad" will not
relate to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, which featured Heath
Ledger as The Joker. Greg Silverman, president, creative
development and worldwide production stated: "The Warner Bros. roots are
deep on this one.
David Ayer returns to the studio where he wrote
Training Day and brings his incredible ability to craft multidimensional
villains to this iconic DC property with a cast of longtime Warner
collaborators Will Smith and Tom Hardy, and other new and returning
favorites: Margot, Jared, Jai and Cara. We look forward to seeing this
terrific ensemble, under Ayer's amazing guidance, give new meaning to
what it means to be a villain and what it means to be a hero."
