In rather unexpected news this evening, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that actor Tom Hardy has just exited Warner Bros.' highly-anticipated Suicide Squad movie, in which he would have portrayed the team's leader Rick Flag. According to The Wrap, it was the English actor's filming commitment to The Revenant, which is "going over schedule," as well as upcoming promotional duties for Mad Max: Fury Road that forced him to exit the 2016 DC Comics adaptation. While this news might seems sudden, it appears that Suicide Squad is already courting Hardy's replacement. The Wrap further reveals that actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who Ayer had directed in 2012's End of Watch is now being eyed for the Rick Flag role. Warner Bros. has yet to comment, but what do you think?
Directed David Ayer from his screenplay, Suicide Squad stars Will Smith (Deadshot), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Jared Leto (the Joker), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Boomerang), with Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), and Jessie Eisenberg (Lex Luther). The film opens August 5, 2016!
