DC's Movie Suicide Squad cast is complete! Well, almost, but at least the major characters have already been decided upon.
Last week, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. have officially revealed that Will Smith as Deadshot, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne as the Enchantress, Tom Hardy as Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, and Jared Leto as The Joker, will comprise the team for the Suicide Squad movie. The only missing cast is for the character of Amanda Waller, but as they are all gearing up for the cameras to start rolling come Spring of 2015, they will definitely announce who will join the interesting cast pretty soon.
Moreover, David Ayer, known for his remarkable work in Training Day and Fury, will help in writing the plot of the said movie. We can't wait to find out how he will be able to tie it all up together considering the different backstory of the main characters. In an interview by Empire, Ayer described the film as a "Dirty Dozen with supervillains." He also teased by asking "Does a movie really need good guys?"
Well, it seems like he recently just gave us a clue when he answered his own question with another question and posted on his twitter account saying:
Can bad people do good things?#SuicideSquad

This was followed by another twitter post from DC Entertainment Executive Geoff Johns who sort of gave a "reading assignment" from John Ostrander's 70-issue of Suicide Squad series which ran from late 80's to early 90's:
Could not be more excited for the cast of Squad! @jfostrander 's run is one of the best and underrated in comics history IMO. Start reading.

We are getting more and more excited for the Suicide Squad movie as it nears its filming next year in Toronto, Canada. The movie is slated to hit theaters on August 2016. Keep visiting Franchise Herald for more updates on this David Ayer film.
