  Except that according to Latino Review, Harley won't be a part of it :\

    Yup, you can't have Harley before the Joker.

      The Joker can still exist and not be on screen...
      We have a Batman that's been working for pretty much half his life now.

        October 15, 2014
        You're right, and it would be a cool teaser to have Harley casually mention "mista J".

      im pretty sure joker already exists in this universe since its an older batman
      1. Miguel Gaspar

        I meant more that you can't introduce Harley before the Joker, but I take that back.

      She's easily the biggest draw of the current series, and in a world where an over-the-top character like Rocket Raccoon can suddenly become mainstream popular, then DC would be fools not to put her up front and center in this movie.

    He got all his shit from a script written in like 2012. Since then Harley's popularity has skyrocketed. Warner putting her in would not surprise me.

      October 15, 2014
      Well if that's true, then you have a great point!

      You do have a great point, Lin pictures have had a Suicide squad movie in their sleeve since 2010.

    Batman is going to be into the golden years of his watch.... Joker would have been there for years already! give me Harley Quinn!!!

    That script from Justin Marks is old (and already leaked by Bleeding Cool, before LN). And was written a long time ago, before the boom of popularity of Harley. And Ayer aways wrote the movie he directos, i dont be surprise at all with a full new script been done.

    The best thing bout the recent Suicide Squad animated movie was Harley, seems sorta dumb not to have her in it; regardless of Joker being introduced or not yet. Heck she's hinted at in Arrow, and there's no Joker to be seen there.
  10. Spurple
    October 16, 2014
    I can't really see this project being a success without Harley. She has to be in it.
  11. Lili Sunflower
    October 16, 2014
    They've been denying an Harley Quinn to CW for quite a time now. I believe it was also the case for Ras Al Ghul but they eventually changed their mind, but it appears not for Quinn.
    1. Lili Sunflower
      October 20, 2014
      Same for Ras Al Ghul... I'm not saying I want her in Arrow, I'm saying they've been wanting her to be a part of the cinematic universe for quite a time now.

    Well darn Harley was the main reason I was excited for this :(

I love how they're not referring to Captain Boomerang as Captain Boomerang even though we all know that he's Captain Boomerang.
By the way... Captain Boomerang, Captain Boomerang, Captain Boomerang.

Mhm sounds interesting.
None of those look like Deadshot though.
1. Piotr Rudnicki
  October 16, 2014
  They don't have to, Perry White is black, Lois Lane has red hair, Lex Luthor's got hair, it's a brand new day :D Hell, they may even want Smith to play Deadshot, who knows ;)
  1. Miguel Gaspar
    October 16, 2014
    There's only so much you can change, Lex Luthor has had hair before.
    And Will Smith Deadshot? Do not want.
Batdan
October 15, 2014
Gosling as deadshot could be very good, especially after his performance in place beyond the pines
Batdan
October 15, 2014
if i had to guess, tom hardy would be blockbuster
Wonder Mia
October 15, 2014
Gosling as Deadshot would be great!
AScaryGhost
October 15, 2014
Both Tom Hardy or Ryan Gosling would nail the role as Deadshot. Will Smith I feel would be reluctant to join since he's more concerned about jamming his son down everyone's throat.
I know he isn't a part of the Suicide Squad, but does anyone else see Tom Hardy as being a really good Deathstroke?
1. Carson
  October 16, 2014
  If Marvel can cast the Human Torch as Captain America then DC can cast Bane as Deathstroke
2. thepalaceofawesome
  October 16, 2014
  When will you guys stop with the B.S and quit acting like the Smith's are the first ones ever in hollywood to help out their young and push them in career? Goodness sakes.
  1. AScaryGhost
    October 16, 2014
    Yeah, except his son has no talent whatsoever.
    1. thepalaceofawesome
      October 16, 2014
      His son has talent, he did very well in "Pursuit of Happyness" and "The Karate Kid".
      1. AScaryGhost
        October 16, 2014
        He wasn't that great in Karate Kid and he was like 7 or 8 in Pursuit of Happyness. There was hardly any real performance in there. He was just being a kid.
      2. Mark
        October 17, 2014
        I want to know if, after Will Smith and one of his kids have a fight, the kid goes up to his/her room and starts blasting "Parents Just Don't Understand."
Batdan
October 15, 2014
Ryan Gosling for Deadshot.
Will Smith for Black Manta.
Margot Robbie for Harley Quinn
Tom Hardy for Captain Boomerang.
I CAN DREAM CANT I !

David Ayer is directing, so I'm sure Michael Pena will be in it somewhere. Though, I'm liking the idea floating around that Jon Bernthal should play Deadshot.
Also, can we finally admit Nikki Finke's so called sources were BS?
1. Bruce Kent
  October 16, 2014
  She was right on Justice League 2017 and WW 2017. But, yeah, otherwise completely wrong.

Margot Robbie as Harley
Ryan Gosling as deadshot
Will Smith as King Jaws or Black Mantra

1. Spenddollarz

What about Yael Stone from Orange is the New Black playing Harley? Brooklyn accent, looks great in makeup and already has the damaged stalker routine way down.
1. Spenddollarz
  October 15, 2014
  No thanks

    To each their own I guess.
    1. Spenddollarz
      October 15, 2014
      So you mean to tell me that chick you posted up would be better then Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn did you watch wolf of wall street fuck the acting chops I'm talking about looks here she looks like Harley already
      1. Worlds Finest Comments
        October 15, 2014
        When your only argument is looks, then yeah that is what I am telling you. Now speaking of Wolf of Wall Street, "So put your dick back in your pants."
      2. Ben Reilly
        October 15, 2014
        Yael Stone would be awesome!!! The moment I heard Morello speak in OITNB, I immediately thought Harley Quinn.
      3. ronin
        October 16, 2014
        Well MY argument isn't only looks. Hell, she was practically playing Quinn in Wall Street anyway, right down to the Brooklyn accent. Coupled with her amazing looks, I'm sure that's the main reason why she's being approached.
      4. The Blind Kid
        October 15, 2014
        Margot Robbie looks like Harley Quinn? Have you seen these people before? She's blonde and she's got 2 arms and legs so I guess that's good enough.
      5. Spenddollarz
        October 16, 2014
        Obviously when she puts make up on and gets in character and dyes her hair she would look like Harley and sound like Harley and in the comics Harley has blonde hair so yea

        You got nothing better to do then to call me a pig huh that being said fuck you and you probably look like a pig why are you so butt hurt by what I wrote I said nothing offensive I said she Margott Robbie looks like Harley Quinn I don't even gotta mention her acting skills cuz if you seen Wolf Of Wall Street then you know she can act already but as far as looks she looks exactly like Harley Quinn so fuck off

Ryan Gosling is also in talk with Marvel to play Dr Strange but in my opinion he was born to play deadshot imagine the chemistry between him and Margot Robbie as Harley EPIC!!!!!!! Will smith should be King Jaws or Black Mantra and tom hardy I love as an actor and as Bane but if they do bring him on make him Deathstroke 🙏🙏🙏
1. Spenddollarz
  October 15, 2014
  Agreed
2. Frank

  Saving that for Idris Elba.

    It'd be interesting what state his contract is at. I mean I really enjoy him in the Thor movies but it would be interesting if he could get out of it someway.

I honestly buy this rumor. Suicide Squad is barely 2 years away, they need to lock their cast NOW.
Sérgio Amorim
October 15, 2014
Hardy as Deadshot, Gosling as Cap. Boomerang, Margot has that mean eyes that belong to Killer Frost, but could be Harley too. It just would be weird to introduce a Harley without a Joker.
Now, who could Smith play?
And Gosling as Boomerang would be EPIC
Danny Scarnecchia

I wanna see tom hardy as another batman villain he was awesome as bane in TDKR
Friðrik Valur Hákonarson

Will Smiths son as Harley quinn
The Guessing Kid
October 15, 2014
I don't believe that LR list of character for even half a second. There's no way DC is going to war with Marvel with Jaculi and Mindboggler.
If I had to take a guess...
Ryan Gosling - Deadshot
Will Smith - Bronze Tiger
Tom Hardy - Rick Flag
Margot Robbie - Jewelee
But I'd be shocked beyond belief if any one of these actors sign up for this movie.
