10 Intriguing Casting Rumours About Upcoming Comic Book Movies

8. Ed Harris Might Still Join Suicide Squad

When RoboCop's Joel Kinnamon was added to the ensemble cast for DC's ensemble piece, it was confirmed that he would be playing Rick Flag in place of the reportedly unamused Tom Hardy. The important part though, is that he'll be playing Rick Flag JUNIOR. He will be joined in the film by an elder actor playing his father - founder of the Suicide Squad, and the only surviving member of the original World War 2 outfit. The most intriguing rumour - which was vaguely corroborated by Harris himself in the publicity push for Run All Night - is that Harris is front and centre of the options to play him. Chances: 7/10 Harris alluded to the fact that Joel had wanted him to look at something, and his name has been linked - along with Max Martini's - since the turn of the year. Martini would probably be too young, and Harris has that military poise and bubbling undercurrent that would be perfect.
