DCU Rumours Galore

Several rumours about DC upcoming films have been spreading this week:

• Chris Pine might be sought after to play Hal Jordan

• The Suicide Squad will be going up against villain Antiphon and the terrorist group Onslaught

• As previously reported, Joe Manganiello is up for the role of Deathstroke in Suicide Squad. Latest rumours have placed him as the forerunner for the part, close to signing on as the character who will act as Amanda Waller’s ‘personal bodyguard’.

• Jared Leto’s Joker will be heavily influenced by The Dark Knight Returns, in which he will have a bleached face instead of painted and is rather muscular than skinny. It is also claimed that he will have scenes with Hugo Strange (although no news of this character has been released).
