Tom Hardy recently made headlines with the news of his departure from "Suicide Squad". Previous reports said that the "Mad Max: Fury Road" actor left the project due to scheduling conflict, but now Latino Review shares that it may not be the real reason he left the antihero movie.

According to sources, Hardy "simply didn't like the script he was finally given, he didn't like the drastic change to the character." The report further suggests that the most recent draft of the script features more of Deadshot and The Joker, which may contribute to his decision to leave.

"Suicide Squad" originally tapped Hardy, Jared Leto, Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney and Cara Delevingne to play Rick Flag, The Joker, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Boomerang and Enchantress respectively. The movie which centers on DC supervillains who are sent to dangerous missions by the government to redeem their past is now reportedly eyeing Jake Gyllenhaal to replace Hardy.
