The comic centers on incarcerated villains from the DC universe being recruited as deniable assets by the Government to go on high-risk black ops missions in exchange for more lenient or even commuted sentences. Amanda Waller is in charge of the program.
Oscar winner Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) is hovering over the role of The Joker--Ryan Gosling was originally up for the role, but he was "unwilling to sign a deal with options for multiple movies" In the DC mythology Quinn is sidekick to The Clown Prince Of Crime.
Joker was last portrayed by the late Heath Ledger who gave an Academy Award-winning performance in The Dark Knight. Leto was also in the running to play the lead in Marvel's long gestating Doctor Strange movie--a role that Sherlock and "Star Trek Into Darkness" star Benedict Cumberbatch now circles
Collider is quoting sources that say "The Wolf of Wall Street" actress Margot Robbie will play Harley Quinn Robbie has been on the radar to take a role in the film shortly after the project was announced along with Will Smith and Tom Hardy British model and actress Cara Delevingne was circling the role as well. The Quinn character was not in the early drafts of the script, but that may change since Ayer is expected to perform re-writes. Courtney is tipped to play Floyd Lawton, aka. the assassin Deadshot. Hardy for team leader Rick Flag, and Smith as Digger Harkness a.k.a. Captain Boomerang.
Jesse Eisenberg could reprise his role as Lex Luthor in the film says Deadline. Eisenberg plays Lex in Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice" and if the character shows up in 'Squad' it would link back to the DC Cinematic Universe which the film doesn't really have on the surface.
Dan Lin is producing the pic with Charles Roven from an initial script by Justin Marks.
The film has an August 5th 2016 release date planned.
Several of the characters have showed up on The CW's popular Arrow TV series and that trend will continue.
