10 Movie & TV Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (14th Nov)

5. Suicide Squad May Have Netted Jai Courtney

The upcoming Suicide Squad, as an extension of the DC cinematic universe may have found a new face for its leading character (among others) Deadshot. Although currently played on the television DC universe by Michael Rowe, the role may be taken over by Jai Courtney for the cinematic role. This may become slightly interesting in the future, as DC have previously stated that the DC cinematic and television universes are shared, and continuous. Whether that means characters mysteriously changing faces, or simply new versions of the same characters will remain to be seen. If Courtney does agree to the offer by DC, he will be in extremely good company (more on that in just a moment), with Tom Hardy and Will Smith deep into negotiations with the entertainment giant. Hardy may be playing Rick Flagg, whom comic fans will remember, while Will Smith is earmarked to play The Flash's foe Captain Boomerang - although no details have been confirmed. Director David Ayer is supposedly rewriting large sections of the script before the film begins principal photography, with an aimed release date of the 5th of August 2016.
