Confirmed: Joker to join Harley Quinn and Deadshot in "Suicide Squad" film: Leto, Robbie & Smith

I just don't get some people being okay with will smith being rick flagg but not will smith being deadshot. Both characters are white and will smith is playing against type for both roles. You'd be better saying you don't want him in the movie entirely

I can see Will Smith playing the "good soldier" I can't picture him playing a badass hitman with a "I don't give a damn" attitude. Mostly because he has zero range. He's like Tom Cruise in the sense that he's the same character in every movie. His performance in Ali was very overrated. I just hope he doesn't have some crappy one liners when he kills someone.

Actually, I am waiting for that one ... Will Smith 4life bro.

Deadshot isn't a stranger to one-liners, though.

I hope the Wall will bust their balls throughout the movie.

Will Smith seems out of it since After Earth bombed. Him (and his kids) are rapidly going off the deep end. I have little confidence in his role. If it was 1997 Will or even 2005 Will, I'd be excited.

That being said I do think Leto can be a fantastic Joker, despite me finding him extremely annoying IRL.

Will Smith has better range than Cruz. Dudes been nominated for 2 Oscars. He'll be fine as Deadshot.

Harley and Joker in a big budget movie together?

Leto would probably be a better Catwoman than Joker.

I've already thought that the next big screen Joker should be more of a modern glam rock version, riffing on everything from Ziggy Stardust to Die Antwoord, very contemporary fashion and celebrity imagery. Leto would be among the perfect picks for that angle. As an actor he's more than decent, under rated if anything and perhaps still held back by his pretty boy image from over a decade ago. Almost where Ledger was actually.

You can't do Harley without Mistah J and it's probably a good thing his screen return could very well be a minor, perhaps even cameo role. On the other hand though, Lex Luthor and Joker in one movie?...that's something you'd want to go large with.

UPDATE: CONFIRMED "SUICIDE SQUAD" CAST REVEALED WITH JARED LETO AS JOKER

I'm not usually one to brag, but did I not kinda call this?

Thank you, David Ayer.

I think I can see the Bowie influence Die Antwoord didn't invent the tattooed hooligan look. They said they were going for a cartel look for the Joker this time

It's the combo of crappy jail tattoos, placement of the tattoos, the metal teeth, the veiny frame, shaved sides and most strikingly now, track pants with vertical graphics down the side (ha!) that jump out for me. Sure Ninja's patchworked his look from a ton of places himself but I just think it's awesome Letos Joker shares such a resemblance (revealing myself as a DA tragic here)

Hahahaaha. Oh man. Thanks internet.
