Last week, we learned that Tom Hardy ("The Dark Knight Rises") had exited David Ayer's Suicide Squad movie. Then came rumors that he departed because the script was too focused on Will Smith's Deadshot and Jared Leto's Joker for Hardy's liking, and Jake Gyllenhaal ("Nightcrawler") is supposedly being eyed for Hardy's Rick Flag role. Now, Latino-Review is reporting that they have received information from two sources regarding the plot.

Be warned, the information below offers some MAJOR SPOILERS! If you're adverse to spoilers and would like to remain in the dark do not proceed any further.

Their first source says Suicide Squad begins with Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Deadshot (Smith) cross paths at Arkham while Quinn is trying to bust The Joker (Leto) out and Deadshot is trying to assassinate an inmate. Both of them are captured and brought to Amanda Waller's prison (Belle Reve Penitentiary). Joker is taken to the prison as well. This is where he will spend the majority of the film. Think of him like Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) in Silence Of The Lambs. By the time the film ends he will have broken out.

Jai Courtney's Boomerang is already a member of Waller's Suicide Squad. There will be instant-tension between his character and Smith's because "Deadshot killed his father."

After Waller has assembled her team of villains she gives them their first mission. They're to prevent a gang from selling Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) a "bio-weapon." That "bio-weapon" turns out to be Cara Delevingne's Enchantress. Luthor wants her for her magical abilities but the Suicide Squad gets to her first and bring her back to Waller's prison. During this scene we will see some of the other unusual characters housed at Belle Reve, like... King Shark!

There is a major twist with Rick Flag, but you'll have to visit Latino-Review's article for the details. I don't even want to spoil it.

Their second source corroborates much of what the first said. They did add that Delevingne's character will suffer from a split-personality. One of them is June Moone and the other is Enchantress. Batman (Ben Affleck) will be mentioned but not appear. It is implied that Waller assembled the team with the long term goal of hunting down The Dark Knight. The film concludes with a prison riot. Most of the prisoners escape, including The Joker. 

Suicide Squad will land in theaters Aug. 5, 2016.
