Jackie Earle Haley Rumored for Role in Suicide Squad
Haley played Rorschach in Zack Snyder's Watchmen.
Another Suicide Squad casting rumor has surfaced, this time involving Watchmen's Jackie Earle Haley.
According to El Mayimbe of Latino Review, Jackie Earle Haley's name is being "tossed around".
"Take with grain of salt until otherwise confirmed but found it interesting nonetheless."
There have been iterations of the character in DC Comics, but the original Thinker was Clifford DeVoe, a genius who used his intellect as a weapon through his "Thinking Cap." He appeared as a Flash villain before joining the Suicide Squad.
Recently, Mayimbe suggested that the main villain in David Ayer's film would be Antiphon, who leads a group "called #ONSLAUGHT which is up against #DEADSHOT & the rest of the Suicide Squad. Onslaught are hunting super heroes & villains for their own agenda. They're like a special ops team made up of mercenaries. Antiphon is a burn victim & has a prosthetic leg."
Earlier this month, Joel Kinnamon confirmed he would be joining the cast a Rick Flag. He will star alongside Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as The Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. Batman might also make an appearance.
