Despite pulling out of the role of Rick Flagg in Suicide Squad due to scheduling issues, and throwing his hat in the ring to play The Punisher for Marvel, it seems that Tom Hardy is still eyeing a return to the DC universe, with The Dark Knight Rises star telling Collider than he’s currently working on a DC project with Warner Bros.
“I actually got something cooking with Warner Bros. which is also a comic book, it’s a DC thing which is kind of… It’s really good actually, it contains elements of all kinds of stuff. From Ocean’s Eleven, to Batman, you can get all the wrappers out and it would be a big, really cool, Technicolor, Pulp Fiction…It’s a psychological fuckfest, it’s absolutely awesome. It’s as if you would take Transmetropolitan and make it happen, but it’s not that out there it’s something which is much more real world. It could be like Heat, it could be fucking awesome… It’s real estate, it’s PRIME real estate which is sitting there right under everybody’s nose that no one’s really thought about yet and it goes TV and movie, it’s awesome. I can’t believe that nobody has even –I know they thought of it but no one has actually blown life into it yet.”
So, just what could he be referring to?
