Suicide Squad Cast – Jared freaking Leto as The Joker

Alright, so here I was la-di-da-ing down my Facebook timeline when I come across THIS ARTICLE that says Jared FREAKING Leto is going to be the Joker in Suicide Squad. Yes, I had a minor freak out and read the article and a couple others like five times each. I, personally, think he’s going to do a great job. I think he’s an incredible actor and I’m seriously looking forward to seeing that film. Not sure how I feel about Will Smith as Deadshot, but I’m willing to give it a shot. And Cara Delevingne is going to go from Margo Roth Spiegelman in the film adaptation of John Green’s Paper Towns to Enchantress in Suicide Squad. She’s obviously got the best agent ever. I can’t wait to see her in both – mostly because I really want to see both, not necessarily because she’s in it. Actually, I’ve never seen her in anything so I don’t know if she’s good.

Here’s the official cast/character list taken from the Variety article:Jared Leto

Jared Leto – The Joker

Will Smith – Deadshot

Tom Hardy – Rick Flag

Margot Robbie – Harley Quinn

Jai Courtney – Boomerang

Cara Delevingne – Enchantress

The movie is set to release August 5, 2016.
