Yet another big name has joined the already impressive cast of the DC Comics adaptation "Suicide Squad". Academy Award nominee Viola Davis ("The Help") is set to star as Amanda Waller in the film which will be directed by David Ayer ("Fury").
The film also stars Tom Hardy as Rick Flag, Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Cara Delevinge as Enchantress and Jared Leto as The Joker. The character of Amanda Waller has previously been played by Angela Bassett in the epic flop "Green Lantern", but she is mostly known in the comic book universe as the leader of the Suicide Squad.
Viola Davis can also be seen next year in Michael Mann's cyber-thriller "Blackhat" and the drama "Lila & Eve" in which she stars alongside Jennifer Lopez.
Production on "Suicide Squad" is set to begin in April and the released date has been scheduled for August 5, 2016.
