There were a lot of rumors going around in regards to Tom Hardy’s departure from “Suicide Squad.” Tom recently put all of those rumors to rest and set the record straight during a recent interview with Collider. Hardy makes it clear that he definitely wanted to be part of the film but that production on his current film “The Revenant” has gone longer than expected which prevented him from being a part of “Suicide Squad.”
He did have some encouraging words to say about the film and teased that he knows what will happen with The Joker and Harley Quinn.
“Warner Bros. is my home studio and I love them so I was really bummed out. I wanted to work on that and I know the script is really f***ing alley and I also know what’s gonna happen with The Joker and Harley Quinn in that; I won’t give away too much…it’s f***ing alley. And that whole territory is something that I would certainly—I mean, everybody loves The Joker. Everybody loves The Joker. Will Smith is a dope guy, but everybody loves The Joker and that’s gonna, I think, be a very important film for fans.”
“Suicide Squad” is set to hit theaters on August 5, 2016.
