SUICIDE SQUAD

Variety dropped a big bombshell yesterday afternoon when they revealed the core cast of DC Comics' upcoming "Suicide Squad" film. The reveal confirmed pretty much every actor rumored for a role in the movie with Jared Leto signing on as Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot, Tom Hardy as Rick Flag, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Boomerang and Cara Delevigne as Enchantress. The announcement also stated that Jesse Eisenberg is in talks to return as Lex Luthor in the film. The role of Amanda Waller has yet to be cast, but Warner Bros. is reportedly eyeing Oprah Winfrey for the role, with Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer also being considered.

AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

Entertainment Weekly caught up with "S.H.I.E.L.D." showrunners Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen and talked to them about last night's big in-episode revelation that the Kree are indeed involved in the show's expanding mythos.

"We obviously showed this [Kree] body a year ago at around this time," said Whedon. "When we were breaking that and sussing out what this arc would be, we had to have a lot of the pieces in place from the get go. Yes, we had to talk to features about what their plans were and where they were going. It's been a while."

Tancharoen expanded on Whedon's answer, saying, "You will see how this Kree fact that we all now know plays out." In fact, you might see how it all plays out in next week's episode, titled "What They Become."

Brett Dalton, the actor who plays the traitorous Grant Ward, spoke with CBR about his character's true allegiance -- or lack of one.

"Ward really is a wild card," said Dalton. "He's not working for any one organization at all -- he's kind of working for himself at this point, and he has his own motivations and reasons for doing all of these things. He has the skills to do whatever he wants to do, which makes him really scary. I feel like people have been onboard with it ever since then. It's not like, 'Hail Hydra, man!' because I'm not Hydra, nor am I really S.H.I.E.L.D."

ANT-MAN

Actress Judy Greer has revealed her previously under wraps "Ant-Man" role in an interview with HeyUGuys.

"I'm Paul Rudd's estranged ex-wife," said Greer. "We have a daughter together and our relationship is, well, estranged, but I feel like my character is still rooting for him to succeed. I guess that's about as much as I can say." In the comics, Scott Lang's ex-wife is named Peggy Rae, so that may be the name of Greer's character as well. More importantly, though, Greer's comment confirms that Lang's daughter Cassie might have a role to play in the film. Cassie is a fan favorite character who became a member of a couple of Avengers teams under the codename Stature.

THE FLASH

You can check out our recap of last night's episode, "Flash vs. Arrow," over on Spinoff.

Fans got their first taste of Firestorm in last night's episode, when Robbie Amell reappeared as the presumed-dead Ronnie Raymond. "He's definitely not the same guy he was," Amell told Entertainment Weekly. "He's definitely a dangerous guy. He's a bit of a scary dude at this point. He's more a homeless schizophrenic than Ronnie Raymond."

"Flash" EP Andrew Kreisberg told EW that fans can expect a heartbreaking reunion between Raymond and his fiancee, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker). "I wrote this scene where she's saying, 'I used to play this game with myself: What would I give for one more minute with Ronnie?' It's actually a game I played with myself. What would I be willing to give up to get one more minute with somebody I lost? I thought about that Caitlin actually gets her minute, but she wishes she hadn't because of what he becomes now. She actually wishes he just died. Not that she ever had closure, she certainly didn't having lost him, but now it's worse for her because he's walking around and he's not himself. Whether or not he can be brought home becomes part of the second half of the season."
