Suicide Squad

If Batman v. Superman can have its own thread so can this (besides the WB thread isn't working at the moment anyways). Tazz had the casting announcement in the movie thread but in case y'all haven't seen it yet here it is:

• Jared Leto – The Joker
• Will Smith – Deadshot
• Tom Hardy – Rick Flagg
• Margot Robbie – Harley Quinn
• Jai Courtney – Boomerang
• Cara Delevingne – Enchantress

And apparently Oprah is WB's top choice for Waller with Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer also under consideration.

So...gut reactions on the casting choices? For me it's definitely positive, not overwhelmingly so, but definitely more positive than negative. I am intrigued by the potential of this movie.

Will Smith as Deadshot? Seriously?

I'll have to see it in theaters to believe it.

I laughed my ass off when I saw Oprah for Waller, that's worth the ticket price by itself

I think Oprah would be a good choice for the role, certainly not the best choice but anyone who's dismissing her out of hand hasn't seen any of the movies she's been in.

I don't mean to dismiss her, I think it's hilarious theyd pick someone as well known as Oprah, that's like casting Ellen as Captain Marvel

Or Will Smith as Deadshot.

Yeah, I would think the issue would be whether Oprah has any interest in playing Waller, not whether she has the acting chops to pull it off.

Honestly none of the reported choices are bad.

This!

She's a fantastic actress, How to Get Away With Murder is evident of that.

I don't even like Oprah by and large, but she is a very good actress.

I had to look up the last two, but it turns out I've seen Mr. Courtney in a few things and just hadn't learned his name yet.
