Tom Hardy, Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are also in various stages of discussions to join the super-villainous movie, which is being written and directed by “Fury” filmmaker David Ayer. “Suicide Squad,” produced by Charles Roven, will be released in summer 2016. Warner Bros. had no comment on this story. Based on the DC comic book, the story centers on the team of super villains who are given a chance at redemption by the government.
