Tom Hardy’s Exit From Suicide Squad Explained

Their source indicates that the script hadn’t yet been distributed when the stars were cast, and that by the time Hardy finally got one, he didn’t like it and left on amicable terms.

The site added, “The rumor is the latest draft of Suicide Squad has upped the screen time of Deadshot and The Joker at the expense of the lesser-villains in the movie like Rick Flag. This also may have contributed to Hardy’s exit.”

The film is expected to start shooting soon for an expected theatrical release in August 2016.
