WB's trying to pull a Guardians of the Galaxy like movie

i'd be up for it, Just needs a decent scriptwriter of course.

krisblaze
It has a lot of potential, but it'd be much better if it happens after they've established a universe.

Assault on Arkham was pretty awesome. I'd be up for it.

BruceSkywalker
hope good actors are cast.. should be a good script... should also be a nice but cheap budget

DARTH POWER
I read somewhere DC is perhaps going to concentrate more on team movies like Justice League and Legion of Superheroes, than they are solo movies. This would certainly contribute to that theory.

Anyway this Definitely has potential..

Only question is will this be yet another Universe for DC Lol..

Wasn't the Suicide Squad in Arrow?

Anyways, sounds cool.

Yeah but it's not a shared universe.

Besides between their Arrow showing and Batman:Arkham Asylum, it seems they have been trying to give the villanous anti-hero team wider exposure.

Golgo13
Don't mind SS being separate. They've been working in their little corner of the DCU, anyway.

Yeah, I know. The suicide squad was cast really well in Arrow, so that should serve as a nice blueprint for the potential movie

My Choices

Deathstroke - Sean Bean or Jeffrey Dean Morgan (I know he played the comedian)

Harley Quinn - Margot Robbie or Kristen Bell

Deadshot - Bradley Cooper

Captain Cold - Gerard Butler or Armie Hammer

Amanda Walker - Gina Torres

Bronze Tiger - Chadwick Boseman

So an older Batman but a younger Joker... I hope not. I like Leto but SS doesn't need Joker imho.

Golgo13
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a cameo, because Harley will definitely be in SS. Good choice, IMO.

Why bring in Oscar level talent in for a cameo?

I don't see anything wrong with it. Joker was never a SS member, which is why I said it could be just a cameo. To introduce Harley's origin. If Jared agrees, he will be part of a multi pic deal. He'll have a chance to shine.

It hasn't been confirmed, though. It does sound like he's going to do something big, but time will tell. I hope he is the Joker.

I am not sure I believe the Leto rumor yet.. He is a talented actor so he could give a Ledger type performance

looks like Will Smith is heavily considered. Along with Hardy. Don't care for Smith, but I hope Hardy joins.

Firefly218
Jai Courtney is an untalented hack. It still amazes me some exec dumbasses thought it was a good idea to cast him as John Connor. Don't go near him DC.

He's Kyle Reese. Not John Conner.

But by early spoilers sounds like the whole team behind the new Terminator movie have lost the plot.

Right, Kyle Reese.

Honestly, I'm not crazy excited for terminator reboot like I hoped I would be. Bad casting, pg13, stale plot.

Jai Courtney was good in that first Spartacus series and don't bring up Die Hard 5 we all know the quality dropped with that one.

Well, he fits well as Deadshot personality wise. I could care less about who is white/black, etc... Plus, he has charisma.

True, but I would've preferred that he played Black Manta. There are lots of actors just as charismatic who'd be better fits as deadshot.

Golgo13
I would have prefer Hardy as Deadshot and Smith as Manta. I thought that might happen, because Smith might like being the main villain in the Aquaman movie. But this works, too.

Feels like pandering to a bankable star... meh. Hardy could've been great as deadshot.

If anything, I'm really excited to see Joker and Harley Quinn. The casting for them is spot f ucking on.

So, does this mean we might get a Batman (Ben Affleck) Vs Deadshot (Will Smith) fight in the foreseeable future?

The real shining points are Leto and Robbie as Joker and Harley. That could be PHHHHHHHHUCKING perfect. Especially if were gonna get to see Leto face off against Ben Affleck as Batman. This is an insanely high profile cast though I'm still shocked WB pulled it off.

He's that douche in Game of Thrones. Bad choice for deathstroke. He could pull it off, but I'd go with other people.

Golgo13
Hmm, I hope he doesn't get it, then.

On another note, many people here were debating with me about Kevin Tsujihara. I warned you that this guy doesn't play around. Under him, we have gotten a huge slate of DC TV shows and movies. People were quick to dismiss him as just another CEO that won't expand DC properties, but I said otherwise. Nice that John Campea and Amy Rose touches upon this.

Campea can be idiotic at times with comments like "Adding Spider-Man to Avengers wouldn't make Avengers even $1 more.." and "Is better to make a Justice League without any previous solo movies.."

He also said it as a fact that Clone Wars was not part of Star Wars movie canon when Schnepp thought it was. He looked pretty stupid when Lucasfilm announced a few days later that it was officially canon to the movies.

All this idiocy comes out because he can be pretty arrogant, and makes his own wishes as the way "It is" or "the right way to do it" too often.

But the rest of the guys are on the show are fine though.

And even Campea can be fair sometimes.



Anyway Oprag as Waller would be crazy. Anyone else playing her would be a major let down now that they've even mentioned Oprah!

Just think of Oprah and her presence. Her butting heads with Batfleck would be a site to see. Not only that, but she will probably have a multiple movie deal and be in the Justice League and beyond. Guaranteed to make even more money with her in the movies.

She'll be DC's Nick Fury.

IF she signs on.

Only problem with her name floating around is that anyone else now would be a major disappointment!

Firefly218
I doubt Oprah signs a multiple movie deal. As one of the most influential people in the world, Oprah has an established identity and persona. If she does like 5 or 6 DC movies as Amanda Waller, she'll start to be associated with that character/persona. She probably doesn't want that.

I could see her maybe doing one or two movies?

That's a waste. The whole reason WB is looking at Oprah is because of marketing standpoint. If she's in the future JL movies, then her alone would mean big bucks. If that's her mindset, then she probably won't sign on.

I make no exaggeration, Oprah as Waller could be the biggest lighning in a bottle casting since RDJ as Iron man.

There was one episode where Campea admits he does come on a bit strong at times and can be stubborn at times. Hes opinionated for sure but everything he says he atleast will back up with very sound logic. Even if he ends up being wrong.

Her name shouldn't have been mentioned by anyone until she was officially signed on.

Kind of like the Bryan Cranston rumoured to play Lex thing. But this is much bigger, so if it falls through the disappointment will be that much greater.

Secondary heavy. Dwight Yoakam was the biggest villain in the film.

So this is all relying on Smith and Leto right now. (And Ayer tbf).

I'd rather have Jake or Tom as a main role. Rick Flag is a D lister anyway. This opens the doors for them having meatier roles, if they ever decide to go that route.

An A-list actors doesn't want to play a D-list characters? Surprised? Let's not be.

Arguably Zoe Saldona is playing a D-list (being extremely generous) while an A list actress.

Hardy left because of issues completely divorced from this project, Gyllenhall is probably offered 10 parts a day so no surprise with him turning this down. He probably doesn't want to be tied down to an untested ship yet.

If I was WB I'd grab a new face for Flagg, that way you can sign him for 8-10 movie deal.
