While Marvel's got its Phase 2 lineup ready for the screen with three films out this year (
Avengers: Age of Ultron,
Ant-Man and
The Fantastic Four), the DC Universe will make us wait another year for the eventual showdown between Batman and Superman. Also arriving in 2016 is
Suicide Squad, the third instalment of the DC shared universe.

Director David Ayer (
Fury)
posted a photo from the first cast read through.
Suicide Squad's cast includes Will Smith as Deadshot (very excited about this!), his
Focus co-star Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Plastique, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, and Viola Davis as Agent Amanda Waller. Ike Barinholtz, Jim Parrack and Adam Beach also join the cast as Hugo Strange, Deathstroke and Ravan respectively.
So, who's missing from the above photo? Noticeably, it's Jared Leto's Joker. The Oscar winner shed his beautiful long locks for this role and we got a brief glimpse at him taking on the iconic role inhabited memorably by the late Heath Ledger. Ayer also teased the image on Twitter. While
Suicide Squad is due to release on August 5, 2016, the anticipation for the film (with its large star cast) has already begun.
