Hollywood heavy hitters Will Smith, Jared Leto and Tom Hardy will be hanging out in Toronto next year as they suit up for DC Comics' supervillain team-up film Suicide Squad.
Warner Bros. confirmed the much anticipated casting of the DC Comics film in an announcement Tuesday, and the flick will be shot in the spring and summer of 2015 at various Toronto locations.
Smith will star as Deadshot, Hardy will play the group's leader, Rick Flagg, and Leto will take on the Joker, following in Heath Ledger's footsteps. The rest of the gang will be Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn; Jai Courtney as Boomerang; and Cara Delevinge as Enchantress.
David Ayer, who recently released the World War II tank thriller Fury, will write and direct.
Suicide Squad is slated for release in August 2016.
