Will Smith is a smart man for taking this role. Every actor in Hollywood would jump at the chance to be in any Marvel and now possibly maybe DC superhero film. They are tentpoles with huge budgets that spawn sequels and make a ton of money especially on the merchandising side.


^^^ this.

Suicide Squad will set up Will Smith for a nice sequel... Or possibly as the major villain for a Ben Affleck / Batman movie... Or BOTH. :yes:

I'm kinda shocked. I never thought DC would be able to afford to put all these people together in 1 film. When Marvel started out, they got everybody for cheap, relatively speaking. Terence Howard made more than Downey in the 1st Iron Man flick. DC's picking up cats a lot of whom are in their peak earning years. Depending on what their deals are, these film budgets could be extra huge. No room for mistakes with that much $ on the line.

The Hardy signing is good since he's a quality actor, but it also feels like a move to keep him out of Marvel and Fox's hands like the Mamoa move w/ Aquaman.

FOH! Viola would kill it.

Unanimous choice..Hell she's already playing Waller-lite in the show, "How to get away with murder"

She has the presence and the acting chops to pull off a role like that. Further, she's likely to have an expanded role in the DC universe and appear in multiple DC-Base Films especially the Batman ones.

So she has to be able to come at Batman and even Lex Luther without flinching...

doesnt look like Jesse Eisenberg's version of Luthor could be seen as a threat,since he said he's playing him as more of an"Occupy Wall Street/outcast" type :rolleyes:

Oh, I'm just as curious as you on the "Wall-Street-Type-Lex Luthor" Although, its understandable and very likely that given his power trip he would be involved in the Markets and other entrepreneurial ventures..

I'm willing to bet this is going to be a Lex Luther "Origins" type of story.

2 versions of Flash, Deadshot and Amanda Waller. I'm curious as to how the casual crowd responds to the DC movie vs. TV universe.

The cast looks good, but this is DC. They do not have the vision, track record or equity built up to make me believe this will be a success. If DC watches Guardians if the Galaxy then they can see how its done. However, for them to do this movie right the theme will have to be darker and more adult. Not sure if DC has it in them to neglect the toy and restaurant crossovers to make a mature flick close to the Watchmen. We will see.

Jared Leto Returning As Joker In Justice League Snyder Cut
Jared Leto's Joker is making his big return to the DCEU as the Justice League Snyder Cut is adding the iconic Batman villain into the DC film.

BY ANDY BEHBAKHT1 DAY AGO

Jared-Leto-Returning-As-Joker-in-Justice-League-Snyder-Cut.jpg


Zack Snyder's Justice League is making a big addition to the HBO Max version of the film as Jared Leto's Joker is making a comeback. The DCEU has had an interesting year as the Snyder Cut will finally see the light of day. After the theatrical version of the film was retooled by Warner Bros. and Joss Whedon following Snyder's departure, the fandom launched a movement that took over three years of campaigning. But earlier this year, WarnerMedia granted their wish as the Justice League Snyder Cut is heading to HBO Max next year in a four-part format that will showcase Snyder's true vision for DC's iconic team.

One of the biggest characters that made an appearance earlier in the DCEU was The Joker, played by Leto, in 2016's Suicide Squad. But even that film was altered from David Ayer's original vision as his cut reportedly has a lot more of Leto's take on the iconic Clown Prince of Crime. While he has been referenced in films like Birds of Prey, Leto's Joker hasn't been seen since his DCEU debut. While Affleck's time as the Dark Knight looks to be continuing as he'll be in Ezra Miller's The Flash film, it's been a mystery if Leto was actually done as The Joker or not. But it appears that 2021 will give fans another glimpse at the character.

Leto is reportedly set to reprise the role of The Joker in the Justice League Snyder Cut as part of the ongoing reshoots. As revealed by THR, Leto is joining fellow actors like Ben Affleck, and Ray Fisher who are reprising their roles as Batman and Cyborg respectively. No specific details were revealed about The Joker's role in the film and whether it's a cameo or a bigger part. It remains to be seen if other DC characters will be added as part of Snyder's reshoots. With many mysteries still surrounding Snyder's full cut of the film, it wouldn't be too shocking if other DCEU actors board the project.



While they shared only a brief moment in Suicide Squad, Leto's addition may lead to Affleck's Batman sharing the screen with him once more. As Leto reprises the iconic DC villain, fans will get to see him in two major comic book films in 2021. As Leto seemed to be possibly done as the Joker, Sony ended up casting him as Morbius the Living Vampire for the upcoming solo film that was originally set to release this year. But due to COVID-19, Morbius, along with multiple films, has been rescheduled. It's possible that Morbius' current March 2021 date will be changed too as the global pandemic continues to affect the movie industry.

Nevertheless, Leto getting to return to the DC role is a major move for the DCEU as this could potentially lead to him starring in other DC projects. Warner Bros. was initially trying to work on a Joker solo film for Leto as well as a shared movie with Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. Despite the projects being scrapped as of last year, Leto's return could perhaps indicate that at least one of those films will happen. Depending on what happens in the Snyder Cut, it's possible that there's now revived interest from WarnerMedia's side to continue Leto's run as The Joker. But viewers will have to wait till 2021 to find out how Leto's Joker plays into Snyder's Justice League.
