The movie is set to start shooting in April, and it looks like one of the cast members is rather excited to get going on Suicide Squad.
“[I’m] pretty effin excited,” Margot Robbie, who will be playing Harley Quinn, told Collider while promoting her new movie Z for Zachariah. “It’s going to be epic.”
Suicide Squad is still currently a cast member down since Tom Hardy left the project due to scheduling conflicts and promotional tours of Mad Max: Fury Road. Jake Gyllenhaal had been approached, but has since turned the project down.
