Writer and director David Ayer<\/strong> tweeted a cast photo of\u00a0Warner Bros.\u2019 Suicide Squad<\/strong> as they goy together for a read-through. Jared Leto<\/strong> is absent as he\u2019s on currently tour with his band 30 Seconds to Mars.\u00a0The film will hit theaters on August 5, 2016.<\/p>\n

Also included in the pic are Jim Parrack <\/strong>(‘True Blood’),\u00a0Ike Barinholtz<\/strong>\u00a0(‘Neighbors’)\u00a0and Adam Beach <\/strong>(‘Flags of Our Fathers’).<\/p>\n

Suicide Squad is set to star Will Smith<\/strong> as Deadshot, Margot Robbie<\/strong> as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney<\/strong> as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne<\/strong> as Enchantress, Joel Kinnaman<\/strong> as Rick Flag, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje<\/strong> as Killer Croc, Karen Fukuhara<\/strong> as Plastique and Viola Davis<\/strong> as Amanda Waller.<\/p>\n

Latino Review\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0El Mayimbe announced on\u00a0Instagram<\/em><\/a>\u00a0that Ike Barinholtz will play Hugo Strange and that Jim Parrack will play Deathstroke.\u00a0He’s also stating that Adam Beach is rumored to play the villain Ravan.<\/p>\n

\"Jared<\/a><\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>\u00a0David Ayer has released another photo on his Twitter account showing Jared Leto. Joker fans will instantly recognize the photo as an homage to the cover of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland\u2019s classic story \u201cThe Killing Joke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru<\/strong> back in 1959, the group was retooled into its current iteration as villains working off their sentence by John Ostrander<\/strong>. The team has included countless DC villains (and heroes) among its ranks throughout the years. It\u2019s also been a staple of recent DC media. The CW\u2019s hit series \u201cArrow\u201d introduced their own version of the team in the most recent season of the series and the recent animated film, Batman: Assault on Arkham, offered another version of the team.<\/p>\n
