    Jai Courtney what has that guy done to get the roles he gets?

    He is a terrible actor.

    Never really paid attention to Leto before DBC. Just going on that performance I think he has the chops to give us a very unnerving Joker.

    Some coup landing Smith, Hardy as well given his previous DC role. I can only assume based on both castings that the script is strong.

    Robbie was surprisingly fantastic in WoWS, while I've heard good things about Delavingue's acting ability.

    Jury is just out on Courtney really, I watched the animated Suicide Squad film and the character Boomerang was just cheese. You'd think they'd get a better actor to help translate the character to live action.

    Is this going to be part of the DC cinema universe along with the JL movies?

    Yes. There's a rumour that Jessie Eisenburg's Lex Luthor will make a cameo appearance in this to link Superman Vs. Batman to this.

    Will Smith is frankly a bizzare choice for Deadshot. I can't see him being the stone-cold killer with an extremely loose moral code. I do think he'd be better suited to play Rick Flag.

    More often than not, it does seem that Warner Bros. hasn't a clue what to do with it's DC properties.

    Smith is awful casting for Deadshot. Can't see him underplaying any character, nevermind one which actually demands it.

    I love Will Smith so I think he'll be great in the film. I don't think he'll be a great Deadshot but I think he'll be as charismatic and entertaining as ever. The problem with these castings is they're casting for actors, not characters.

    Will Smith playing a villain/anti-hero? That's surprising.

    Only one of those actors I rate highly is Hardy. The rest sound terrible frankly.

    I think it'll be good for his career though. Hope he actually plays it sinister.

    Yeah, he's always watchable no matter what he's been in but it would be nice to see him change things up a bit for this. Fingers crossed he doesn'take them write Deadshot as a straight up good guy.

    Ever since Heath Ledger gave his performance in the Dark Knight, I'm willing to give actors a pass from being judged beforehand until I actually see the film.

    That's a mostly horrible cast.

    Discouraging that Hardy dropped out but probably best for both parties given his previous dalliance already with DC.

    I know nothing about Rick Flagg so I would hope Hardy dropping out is not a sign of a poor production. The fact that they snared Smith and Leto still gives me hope that it can be a special film.

    AFAIK he dropped out purely because of scheduling. The shoot on his current film The Revenent has been extended and he's also got a press junket for Fury Road.

    The talk now is that it's more than just that. Apparently all the actors signed on without reading a script, when Hardy received it he was unhappy at the character and the lack of activity his character had in the film.

    just can't get on board with this movie. I reckon its because, despite liking most of the animated DC stuff, I wasn't a fan at all of the Suicide Squad movie that Assault on Arkham was. Thought Rick Flag and the other squad members apart from DeadShot were terrible - and I'm really not sold on Big Willie as Deadshot. To be fair though, the Harley Quinn/Joker interaction was great.
