Margot Robbie is rumored to have landed the Suicide Squad role of Harley Quinn, the Joker’s love interest and fellow villain. Good choice due to Robbie’s riveting The Wolf of Wall Street performance.
Jared Leto is also said to be in the running to play the Joker. Strange move since that role was somewhat “retired” after the shocking death of Heath Ledger. Leto showed off his impressive acting skills in Dallas Buyers Club and could do a lot with the Joker’s character. However, I do feel that bringing back the Joker is a little early when the DC Universe is full of so many delightful villains. Why not try another route…
Leto as the Riddler or Scarecrow would be simply amazing. Think about it.
The upcoming film follows the DC comic books story line focusing on super-villains taking on secret missions for the United States government. Will Smith, Tom Hardy, and Jesse Eisenberg are also expected to join the cast. The film is projected to be released in August 2016.
