However, there is a much commented absence and it is that of the Joker. The most popular villain of DC Comics it could have easily been part of the argument, but it won’t. It should be remembered that Jared Leto made his debut playing this enemy in the version of David Yesterday de Suicide Squad.

But … Would Leto repeat in character this time? This was said by the director of the upcoming release: “I just don’t know why Joker would be in the Suicide Squad. It wouldn’t be helpful in that kind of war situation. “, affirmed to New York Times.
