Suicide Squad: 9 Things We Just Learned From The Big Villain

It's always valuable to hear how actors - particularly ones who wouldn't necessarily have scripts dropped into their laps with parts written for them - get big profile jobs.

"I had a first audition by tape, a second in person with David Ayer and a 3rd that was really a chemistry read with Cara Delevingne. Next thing you know I'm in the biggest film of the year."

Did he know who else was up for the part?

"I never actually asked but I still consider myself fortunate knowing lots of A-list actors would have jumped at this opportunity."
