Variety have revealed that Jai Courtney (Divergent) is in talks for a leading role in 2016’s Suicide Squad. The Task Force X team member he’s being eyed for is apparently Deadshot, the Batman villain who recently made his presence felt in Arrow. They add that Tom Hardy, Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are all still in various stages of discussions and have details on which characters each of these actors are being lined up for. We know that Leto is being considered for The Joker of course, but the site confirms that Robbie is in the running for Harley Quinn and reveal that Hardy is being looked at for Rick Flagg. They’re not quite so sure about Smith, but sources tell them that he’s likely it’s likely Digger Harkness a.k.a. Captain Boomerang. Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor is also still expected to appear after debuting in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Warner Bros. clearly aren’t playing around now and with a cast like this, they’re obviously taking their DC Comics adaptations very seriously. One thing’s for sure though…Marvel can’t be happy about losing actors like these to their Distinguished Competition! What do you guys think?
