D.C. continues to impress with diversity casting

do they? i'm mostly just rolling my eyes at their shitty choices, over and over again.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Hollywood stopping at nothing to make Jai Courtney happen. Taylor Kitsch still has the edge, however, having headlined multiple nine-figure bombas.

 

[Error]

Just to be clear, this is connected with the new DC movie universe, right?

Yep.

 

[robotrock]

I bet Will Smith is going to use his After Earth voice.

 

[Maximus.]

Holy shit what a cast. Excited as fuck.

 

[KissVibes]

Eyeing Oprah but not CCH Pounder (Waller's VA in JL:U, and pretty much played Waller in Warehouse 13)? Biggest WTF out of the casting

Warner is probably afraid they can't beat Marvel/Disney wish quality and instead want to throw money at big names hoping for the best.

 

[Nokagi]

Good luck Jared Leto...................

Jack Nicholson will have to warn him as well.

 

[DizzyCrow]

Viola Davis MUST be Amanda Waller.

 

[FelixOrion]

this is nuts

 

[Zeus Molecules]

I mean I was hoping they would of made with John Stewart GL but this is pretty damn cool is handled right. Its going to be weird having joker be introduced before batman.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Thats one hell of a cast.

 

[botty]

KING JARED YEST

 

[Schweinehund]

I don't mind Rick Flag but they should have just made it Steve Trevor and then score some overlap points between this and Wonder Woman or JL. They're essentially the same power set and in similar positions in the government. Maybe Hardy didn't want to sign a multiple film contract or they wanted to see where WW's director was going first I suppose.

This movie comes out after Batman v Superman.

 

[Dany]

That is a mother fucking suicide squad. yes

 

[Maddocks]

I really don't hope for Oprah, only because her vs will will be just that. Will Smith vs Oprah it wont be Deadshot vs Amanda. That is my biggest fear if shes cast.

But if she is cast and knocks it out of the park I have no problem eating crow.

 

[Platy]

Lets be honest ... with Jared Leto they MUST reuse the nurse costume ... it will love WONDERFULL on him =3

 

[Magwik]

Warner is probably afraid they can't beat Marvel/Disney wish quality and instead want to throw money at big names hoping for the best.

Oprah for a largely unknown character
Erza Miller for the Flash

;-;

 

[Rickelodeon]

Such a damn good cast man


Still hype about live action Harley Quinn yesssssss



But oh my god, Oprah as The Wall? That'd be amazinngggggg

 

[Akahige]

do they? i'm mostly just rolling my eyes at their shitty choices, over and over again.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Oprah as Waller.. That's something I would love to see.

She could do what Sam L did for Nick Fury

 

[Shaanyboi]

I'm so in. This sounds great. Except for Jai Courtney. And the use of Enchantress vs. someone like Killer Frost is a bummer. And if CCH Pounder isn't Waller, then there will be hell to pay!

Queue the art.

This was posted a month ago though.

Diggin' it.

 

[Error]

so they are going with Fat Waller? Yes pls.

 

[whytemyke]

Waller should be

And yet it's probably gonna be Gabrielle Union

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Oh yeah I need amanda waller to be in this film. If DC wants to knock this into the stratosphere cast Viola Davis

 

[Rastafarian42]

Cast and Director is looking good figured Will would be Deadshot.

 

[Dany]

Viola Davis MUST be Amanda Waller.

Fuck me. this is perfect casting

 

[Zeus Molecules]

This movie comes out after Batman v Superman.

ok fair enough..... still need viola davis as amanda waller

 

[DizzyCrow]

ok fair enough..... still need viola davis as amanda waller

My man

 

[Angelus Errare]

Man social media is going to shit itself.

"OMG, they have that scientology nigger playing Deadshot?! hgkjdfhg hgkjghagsi89y 8r9e398!!!!! This pandering shit needs to stop!!!!!!l oiklo5 i oetkjfklsjf98 8twnw!!!!"

*10 minutes later*

"After long prayer, I realize that my previous message was mean and hurtful and I'm truly sorry for what I've said."

 

[SargerusBR]

No Deathstroke?

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Will Smith seems to be the only bad casting, but who knows, I'm down to give it a shot. Could be amazing.

You need a break.

 

[Totobeni]

Leto, Smith, Tom Hardy and Margot Robbie are pretty good. now if they get Oprah this will be completely insane.


I just hope that Will Smith isn't here just to make a deal with WB for his son to a hero on a DC film.

 

[Maddocks]

No Deathstroke?

Saving him for his solo movie. BELIEVE!

But I hope he gets something good.

Zack Snyder is exectuive producer, so this is probably part of the DCCU.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

ctrl+f jaden - no results

I'm fine with this

Pretty much my thoughts.

I can see a bunch of big stars working out in these roles because the suicide squad would be full of egos.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

So Jaden Smith as Static Shock confirmed?

 

[Sheroking]

Didn't expect them to have the balls to do Joker again so soon, but Leto is a good choice.

I've got an "I told you so" to dish out to that dude who was so sure that Warner was pursuing Smith, Hardy, Gosling, etc for the same role.

Zack Snyder is exectuive producer, so this is probably part of the DCCU.

That was never in question. It was announced as part of the DC film universe.

 

[Bloodrage]

I would have watched this for Tom Hardy and Leto alone. Will Smith as Deadshot sounds like it's going to be quite something.

 

[Kibbles]

Fuck yeah Jared confirmed fuck yeah fuck yeah what a cast

 

[FairyD]

Hmmm this is interesting. I would never thought Will would sign on to something like this.

 

[bigmase21]

Everyone who did not watch Assault on Arkham, you need to do so ASAP.

Exactly what I thought of even when I heard that they were doing this

I hope you all know Jaden's face will be in this movie...brace yourselves

...and Margot Robbie. all I have to say about that is:

 

[Schweinehund]

No Deathstroke?

He doesn't really belong on the same team with Deadshot. Suicide Squad to me has always been about c-list villains on a suicide mission, Deathstroke hasn't ever been that status and he's way above being controlled by Waller. I know the newest SS has him in it, but I haven't gotten around to reading it. Save him for either a Batman solo, a Titans movie or a sequel to suicide squad, otherwise he'll just overshadow Deadshot.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I just hope that Will Smith isn't here just to make a deal with WB for his son to a hero on a DC film.

I really hope he gives up on trying to make Jaden Smith happen.

 

[SargerusBR]

Saving him for his solo movie. BELIEVE!

But I hope he gets something good.

Manu Bennett or bust.

 

[odiin]

As much as I want CCH Pounder as Waller, Oprah would be a really cool choice. She may very well be the LAST person I'd expect to sign a multi film comic book movie contract.

 

[Malvingt2]

No Deathstroke?

I don't think they have someone to beat his swag.

Deathstroke will be saved for the Teen titans movie where he'll bang Terra
