Many fans were left disappointed by the lack of Jared Leto’s Joker in this summers latest superhero blockbuster, Suicide Squad. However, one fan seems to have taken it one step further – by threatening to take the studio behind the film to court. The character seemed to dominate much of the film’s marketing in the past few months, seemingly being portrayed as an integral part of the story. When the film was released, however,  he was seemingly relegated to flashbacks and the occasional scene. This is obviously due to a lot of his scenes finding their way to the cutting room floor…

One of the most important aspects of crafting a Suicide Squad movie is the team itself and while most of the characters are given plenty of screen time – there was one member who seemed to be very much left on the sidelines and that is Adam Beach’s Slipknot. However, the actor himself has delved deeper into the characters origins. During the film, we were shown how each of the members came to be an employee of Amanda Waller with the notable exception of Slipknot – who didn’t join the team until much later on. Luckily, we now know courtesy…

Kevin Smith has become somewhat of a controversial figure as of late, but one thing which can be agreed upon is that the man loves his comics and by extension – comic book movies.

Speaking about both the film and his respect for the film’s director David Ayer, Smith posted: While it seems very apparent that Smith did really enjoy the film (an opinion that…

Since its inception, the DC Extended Universe has avoided using the mid or post-credit scenes to add an extra treat for film fans. That looks to have changed with Suicide Squad’s release – and fans have discussed just what this mid-credit scene actually means. Be warned, the following article contains SPOILERS for Suicide Squad!

Last month, Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick revealed her interest in playing Marvel comics hero, Squirrel Girl. Now, the actress has received an ringing endorsement from a director with ties to Marvel. Okay, those ties may not be as strong as they one were but they were there once, dammit! Anyway, the person I’m referring to is one-time Ant-Man director, Edgar Wright. Wright took to his Twitter to offer support to his Scott Pilgrim vs. The World actress in her pursuit of the role. You can check out the tweet below: In Scott Pilgrim: Superman, Cap America, Human Torch, Punisher, Cap…

Some actors seem to disappear into their roles, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Daniel Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln or Leonardo DiCaprio in pretty much any role he takes. Now, it sounds as though Clint Eastwood may have become one of his characters – although it may not be for the best. The veteran actor recently spoke with Esquire, where he seemed to be talking in a way very reminiscent of his Gran Torino character whilst praising Republican Nominee Donald Trump. He told the interviewer: “He’s onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up, That’s…

Yesterday, we reported on a new petition on change.org that was set up by fans of DC to shut down Rotten Tomatoes after the low reception that Suicide Squad has received (Currently Rotten at 32%). Well, today has revealed some shocking information about the petition. That’s right, since first reporting on the petition yesterday, the number of signatures has exploded with well over 17,000 delusional  passionate fans rallying around the cause. Whether this will be enough for Rotten Tomatoes to take notice remains to be seen, although going out on a limb, I’m going to say no. You can make your own mind…

Donald Trump has made himself a lot of enemies over the course of his presidential campaign but it looks like he may have made his most dangerous enemy yet, the infamous assassin, Deadshot… well, Will Smith anyway. Whilst promoting his latest film Suicide Squad, Smith spoke with News.com.au where he made his thoughts on the Billionaire Republican Nominee very well known. He told the interviewer: “My grandmother would have smacked my teeth out of my head if I had referred to a woman as a fat pig. And I cannot understand how people can clap for that. It’s absolutely…
