Tom Hardy leaves Suicide Squad

British actor Tom Hardy, a brown beast and one of the best actors a production can count on today, will not be part of the cast announced with great fanfare by the Warner in the film adaptation of Suicide Squad. Doing a small memory exercise, Hardy was one of the great attractions of this project that aims to adapt the characters created by John ostrander. Along with him, it is assumed that others were confirmed as Will Smith in the paper Deadshot, Jared Leto like the new Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Cara Delevigne as The Enchantress y Viola Davis as Amanda waller. All this I already told you at the beginning of last December here. Hardy was going to play Rick Flagg Jr. (son of the first Rick Flagg who appeared in the original line-up created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru. But it seems that eventually someone else will have to play that role.

This is how he has uncovered it THR throughout the day yesterday, pointing out as a possible cause a scheduling problem since it is currently shooting The Revenant, border drama directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The shooting of this film seems to take longer than expected and Hardy would have decided to abandon the possibility of playing Rick Flagg Jr. In addition, the premiere of M (where he plays Max Rockatansky) would coincide with the filming of Suicide Squadron, so all this together has made Hardy make a more than wise decision. In THR they also dare to offer a name as a possible alternative to Hardy: Jake Gyllenhaal. Suicide Squadron will be directed by David Ayer (Training Day, End of Watch), which is garnering good reviews these days with the premiere of fury (Hearts of Steel here). The premiere is scheduled for August 5st, 2016, so between now and then we can still see some more change from the initial plans.
