Looks like we won’t be seeing Oprah Winfrey in a comic-book related film after all. At least not in “Suicide Squad.”
Latino Review broke the news late Tuesday evening that Viola Davis, currently starring in the ABC television show “How to Get Away With Murder,” will play the role of Prison Warden Amanda Waller in the new “Suicide Squad” film. The role was considered down to Davis and two other actresses: Oprah Winfrey and Octavia Spencer.
She’s join Jared Leto as the Joker, Will Smith as Headshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Tom Hardy as Rick Flag, Jai Courtney as Boomerang and Carla Delevinge as Enchantress. Latino Review describes Waller as “a former congressional aide and government agent often placed in charge of the Suicide Squad, a semi-secret government-run group of former supervillains working in return for amnesty.”
Latino Review reports the only sticking point would be trying to figure out how to work the film into her already busy television schedule.
