Has Margot Robbie joined Suicide Squad? And is Jon Bernthal up for a role?

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

I have some SUICIDE SQUAD casting news for you this morning involving two THE WOLF OF WALL STREET stars. Last month we learned Margot Robbie might be being eyed for a role, and although the filmmakers may have been considering Cara Delevingne for the part, sources have told Collider Robbie will play Harley Quinn in the upcoming film. If Robbie has joined the film, there's a chance Jared Leto will be playing Quinn's boyfriend The Joker in the David Ayer movie.

Speaking of David Ayer, Jon Bernthal was at the Wizard World Tulsa Comic Con over the weekend, and a fan asked Bernthal if he would accept a role in SUICIDE SQUAD, since he previously worked with Ayer on FURY. His response?

I can’t talk about that right now.

After the moderator made a joke about Bernthal sidestepping the question, he apparently then "went into repair mode and said that he didn’t mean it like that and that he loved working with David Ayer and would like to work with him in the future. However, he never denied that he was up for a role and never mentioned it again."

What are your thoughts on Margot Robbie possibly being cast as Harley Quinn, and is there a character you would like to see Jon Bernthal play in SUICIDE SQUAD?

SUICIDE SQUAD will be in theaters on August 5, 2016.
