The cast of the Suicide Squad movie keeps expanding, with Terminator: Genisys star Jai Courtney in sights for Deadshot.
Is Jai Courtney going to play Deadshot in the Suicide Squad movie? It looks that way. He's in talks for a "major role" in the film, and that's probably going to turn out to be Floyd "Deadshot" Lawton.
Tucked away in that same report is the character that Tom Hardy is under consideration for, Colonel Rick Flag, the team's founder, sometimes leader, and all around not nice guy. So much for my hopes that Hardy would be Slade Wilson. Perhaps one role behind a mask was enough for Mr. Hardy.
What's more, we might now know who Will Smith is in the running for. That would be Digger Harkness, known as Captain Boomerang to Flash fans. Nick Tarabay is about to take on that role for episodes of Arrowand The Flash, by the way.
Suicide Squad needs to get its team of bad guys together in a hurry, as it's already set for an August 5th, 2016 release. David Ayer is directing from a script by Justin Marks.
