It's still early days for Suicide Squad (the script is still being worked on, so don't take those roster reports too seriously just yet), but Warner Bros. are already offering some of the lead roles to A-List actors. As well as courting Ryan Gosling - which you can read about by clicking here - The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Will Smith (I Am Legend), Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) and Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises). There's no word on which characters they may end up playing, but fans on Twitter are suggesting Robbie for the role of Harley Quinn, and that sounds just all sorts of perfect, wouldn't you say? Regardless, the fact that the studio are looking at this sort of talent shows that they're taking their DC Comics slate very seriously. Marvel just got some competition in the casting department!

It's probably best you forget that universe ;) :p

 

This is why Marvel is sucessfull compared to DC. Too many recasts of too many characters. Marvel only had 1. Banner.

Jared Leto May Join ?Suicide Squad? as the Joker

 

The Wrap reports that Leto is ?circling a key role in David Ayer?s ?Suicide Squad? that could prove to be The Joker.?

(The report mentions that Ryan Gosling was the first choice to play the Joker, but that he wasn?t game for the contract required.)

Leto hasn?t signed to a new role since winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Dallas Buyer?s Club, and he was in pursuit of the leading role in Doctor Strange for some time. That didn?t happen (Benedict Cumberbatch is linked to the part, though Marvel has yet to formally announce him) and the Wrap says that prompted Leto to move over to Warner Bros.

Justin Marks wrote the original draft of Suicide Squad, but David Ayer is rewriting the picture, which is set for release on August 5, 2016. In the original draft the Joker did not have a role, but there have been rumors that Cara Delevingne will play Harley Quinn in the film, and that character is intrinsically linked to the Joker. Ayer?s draft is reported to introduce the character to this new conception of the DC universe on film.

SUICIDE SQUAD Shooting Details; Jared Leto Now Said To Be In "Final" Talks

The Hollywood Reporter have a brief update about the current status of David Ayer's Suicide Squad, and reveal that the plan is to shoot the DC Comics adaptation in Toronto. With a working title of "Bravo 14", pre-production is set to begin in February at Pinewood Toronto Studios. Filming itself will apparently take place in and around Toronto from mid-April to September. Exciting times! The site also adds that Jai Courtney, Tom Hardy, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are "in the final stages of talks for roles" and add that "Colin Wilson is producing." If IMDb is to be believed, Fury's Roman Vasyanov will serve as cinematographer and Kate Hawley (Edge of Tomorrow) is going to be the movie's costume designer.

Viola Davis Cast as Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad

Two weeks ago, Warner Bros. revealed their version of Task Force X for the big screen adaptation of Suicide Squad. A few factors remained up in the air, like who would be playing the woman at the center of it all, Amanda Waller. It was reported at the time that three names (including Octavia Spencer and Oprah Winfrey) were in contention, and now Latino Review reports that Viola Davis has landed the role of

Tom Hardy May Have Left SUICIDE SQUAD Because It Focuses On 'Deadshot' And 'The Joker'

 

Apparently, he just wasn't a fan of the script, and he left the project under amicable terms (which is why the scheduling conflict excuse was used as a cover story). Why didn't he like it? It could be for any number of reasons, but the site goes on to add that the latest draft is rumoured to have beefed up the screen time of Deadshot (Will Smith) and The Joker (Jared Leto) at the expense of characters like Flagg. Given the status of Smith and the popularity of The Joker, that makes sense!

But Eric Bana Hulk isn't part of the MCU. Neither is Spiderman .. not part of the MCU (well I mean before the Sony lending rights back to Marvel thing)

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
