Tom Hardy addresses his departure from DC Comic movie "Suicide Squad". There were rumors suggesting that he left due to script issues, but the "Mad Max: Fury Road" actor cites scheduling conflicts as the reason of his exit.
"There's a very practical element as to why I've missed out on that foray, which is because Alejandro [G. Inarritu] has overshot by three months in Calgary, so we've got to go back out to Patagonia or Alaska to continue shooting The Revenant which has turned into a much bigger beast than we thought, but that also looks exceptional," he explains to Collider.
"Warner Bros. is my home studio and I love them so I was really bummed out. I wanted to work on that and I know the script is really f**king alley and I also know what's gonna happen with The Joker and Harley Quinn in that; I won't give away too much...it's f**king alley. And that whole territory is something that I would certainly - I mean, everybody loves The Joker. Everybody loves The Joker. Will Smith is a dope guy, but everybody loves The Joker and that's gonna, I think, be a very important film for fans."
Hardy was originally in talks to play Rick Flagg in David Ayer's anti-hero movie. When asked if there is any other superhero character he would love to play, the actor replies, "I want The Punisher ... I want The Punisher, or Splinter Cell, I want something...I don't know what I want."
