Now the Oscar-winning “Glory” rapper will be starring an a brand new film alongside Will Smith, model/actress Cara Delevingne and rock star/actor Jared Leto that will focus on DC super-villains. Find out more details about the new Warner Bros. flick after the jump!
Common has been selected to star in the upcoming Warner Bros. film Suicide Squad. The plot will be focused on the notorious and imprisoned super-villains who are recruited by a government agency to perform covert operations. Will Smith will play Deadshot, Jared Leto will star as The Joker and Margot Robbie will play Harley Quinn. Along with the main cast, Joel Kinnaman, Cara Delevingne, Viola Davis, Adam Beach, Ike Barinholtz, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Scott Eastwood. There’s no word on which super-villains they will be bringing back for the film, but if they bring back Bain, it’s going to be a wrap!
Not only will we will finally get a more in-depth look at these notorious villains’ backgrounds, but we may possibly see cameos from Jesse Eisenberg who will play Lex Luthor and Ben Affleck who will reprise his role as Batman from the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Common’s role has to be revealed, but given his previous roles, he’ll most likely take on the most bad-ass super-villain possible. A release date has not been confirmed just yet but Common isn’t too worried. While production for the super-villain flick is set to be held in Toronto, Common will be preparing to begin production on Relativity’s Hunter Killer with Gerard Butler in July.
