It seems that the DC Suicide Squad Movie might have Jared Leto as one of its cast member, as it has been reported via The Hollywood Reporter and the Wrap, that the actor is currently in talks with Warner Brothers for the role of The Joker. However, representatives from Leto's side have neither confirmed nor denied these rumors.
As previously reported under the DC Suicide Squad Movie news, Screenrant came up with five reasons as to why Suicide Squad could be a great Supervillain Movie:
- The Underworld - Suicide Squad can be a welcome exception by switching the usual perspective to show us how villains operate within the fantastical world of comic book movies. Between the Deadpool movie being green lit at Fox; the development of a Sinister Six movie within Sony's Spider-Man franchise; and even Star Wars rumors pointing to a Boba Fett spinoff film, it's clear that villains (let's call them anti-heroes) are becoming a part of these shared universe franchise plans - and DCE/WB may beat them all to the punch.
- The Tone - Suicide Squad could be the film that delivers the appropriately dark and adult comic book movie experience you've been waiting for.
- The Story - Suicide Squad traditionally reads like Mission: Impossible with supervillains - and that logline alone has us interested in what this film will offer audiences.
- The Characters - The comic book Suicide Squad team has encompassed a wide range of DC villains, but the Assault on Arkham animated feature really cracked the formula of why this collection of characters is so fun to have in one place.
- Crossover Potential - The biggest reason we think that Suicide Squad will be a great DC Movie Universe addition is its potential to influence so many other DCMU films that come after it.
