Warner Bros. is finding it difficult to locate the right actor to play Rick Flag in the Aug. 5, 2016 movie, Suicide Squad. However, that might all change after reports claiming the studio is close to signing actor Joel Kinnaman.
For those who are unaware of who Joel Kinnaman is, he was the lead character in the modern RoboCop movie that came out in 2014. The film was a relative success at the box office, which could be one of the reasons why Warner is allegedly aiming to have him in Suicide Squad.
Hollywood Reporter claims Kinnaman is in early talks with Warner Bros. right now, so nothing is set in stone just yet. We're not certain how we feel about Kinnaman being the primary choice right now since we did not enjoy him in RoboCop. Don't get it twisted, RoboCop was a good film, but the main lead failed to impress.
