Joel Kinnaman In Talks For Rick Flagg In SUICIDE SQUAD!

Quote :

Joel Kinnaman is in early talks to step into the role vacated by Tom Hardy in Suicide Squad.

Hardy was to have played Rick Flagg, the leader of the villains that make up the Squad in Warner Bros.’s movie based on the DC Entertainment characters.

Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are starring in the movie that David Ayer is directing. Jai Courtney and Cara Delevingne are also a part of the cast.

Hardy was to have played Rick Flagg, the leader of the group that consists of Batman villains Deadshot (Smith), Joker (Leto) and Harley Quinn (Robbie), plus Boomerang (Courtney) and Enchantress (Delevingne).

Hardy dropped out in mid-January ostensibly over scheduling reasons. But script issues were also a factor. When the movie was being initially cast, the actors were signing on without actually reading the screenplay as it was still being written.

Joel Edgerton and Jon Bernthal are other actors that were being considered for the role, according to sources, but Kinnaman appears to be the choice at this stage.

 Insiders caution that any deal being discussed could fall apart.

I liked him in Robocop (2014). He ain't no Hardy or Gyllenhaal, but he's a solid actor.

He shot Batman though.

Huh? He was in a movie with Affleck?

@yonn616 Michael Keaton.

@Mecha Oh right. Keaton. Thought you meant Batfleck.

Lets not forget Gordon was also in RoboCop as well.

Already makes it better than the DCCU.

What could have been...



R.I.P.

Bryan Cranston as James Gordon. Impeccable casting. Now probably forever gone.

Maybe they can get him to appear in a flashback in the stand-alone Batman film. Showing that The Joker crippled Barbara and shot Jim Gordon to death. Then Batman gets really angry, beats the shit out of The Joker, and sends him to prison for good. Which would lead into Suicide Squad. Also in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Superman will probably haunt Batman by bringing up how many people he let get killed by the hands of The Joker.

See, Gordon is more important to the story by being dead than what he could have been if he was alive. Since you know, Gordon would have been retired anyway.

Fuck that flashback bullshit. They'll be enough flashbacks in BvS. Why would that lead into Sucide Squad? Superman would have done the same exact shit anyway.

See it Gordon would be better alive than dead as he is a great character and a bi part of the Batman mythos. Hell, he's like the uncle of the Bat-family. What makes you think Gordon would be retired. Gordon at most is 15 years older than Batman. He'd be 60y/o's in this univers (perfect age for Cranston ). He'd still be good as commissioner.

@yonny616 60-years-old seems like a good age to retire actually.

I doubt Gordon would retire at 60y/o. As long as the dude can go, he'll do the job. Hell in TDKReturns, which seems to be the foundation for the DCCU Batman, he's retiring at 70. He's good for at least 2 more Batman movies.

@yonny616 Too bad he never got the chance to even retire in the DCCU.

Yea, he gets an off-screen death. Fucking Zack Snyder

Nah man Zak McKraken is the shit

It's funny because the Gordon being dead rumor has never been confirmed. But the only reason we believe in it is mainly because no one has been cast as Gordon. And Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice partly takes place in Gotham.

The member 'Mecha' has done the following action : Turn the Wheel of Fate

'Jack Says' :

Holy shit! He looks big now.

The dude looks like he's been lifting like a beast! Hopefully his character doesn't get killed off.

I take back what I said. Joel Kinnaman's Rick Flagg can probably go toe to toe with Batfleck now.
