Earlier this week we heard about possible casting for Harley Quinn and maybe even Joker in the Summer 2016 Suicide Squad movie. Today, Variety has reported that Jai Courtney (Terminator: Genisys, Divergent) is in talks "for a major role" in the movie. Their sources tell them it's for Deadshot.
David Ayer (Fury) is writing and directing the movie. Variety also mentions Tom Hardy, Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Jared Leto are in "various stages of discussions" for different roles. Hardy is said to be up for Rick Flag and speculation points towards Smith as Captain Boomerang.
Deadshot may not be a household name character but it would be hard to imagine a Suicide Squad movie without him. Warner Bros. declined to comment on the report.
What do you think about Jai Courtney as Deadshot?
