As reported by [io9](http://io9.com/will-smith-tom-hardy-jared-leto-all-confirmed-for-sui-1665900563), this casting finally ends the rumours as to who will play the collection of supervillains. *Suicide Squad* sees them forced to come together to carry out the government’s dirty work, so it could work really well. Some interesting casting choices there – I’ve no idea who Rick Flagg is but Tom Hardy is always good value, and Margot Robbie playing Harley Quinn is a fantastic choice. Also, my countdown timer for when Will Smith pulls out has started. However, it’s [Jared Leto](https://www.google.ca/search?q=Jared+Leto&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=6Xd_VJiRJMmGigKBp4EQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ)’s takeover of the [Joker](https://www.google.ca/search?q=Jared+Leto&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=6Xd_VJiRJMmGigKBp4EQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&q=joker) role that will have the most focus. He certain has the intensity, but does he have the dark humour?

We’ll find out…in 2016.

Final request, though: CAN HOLLYWOOD PLEASE STOP CASTING JAI COURTNEY. IN ANYTHING. EVER. Ahem. Thanks.
