Will Lex Luthor Be Part Of The Suicide Squad

Of the new slate of movies announced by Warner Bros recently, the one that stood out as unconnected to the rest was the Suicide Squad… now the connection may become clearer. Deadline is reporting that Jesse Eisenberg is in talks with WB to take his Lex Luthor character from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice over to the David Ayer directed villain ensemble.

Word is that Tom Hardy, Will Smith and Margot Robbie are all being sought after by the studio to be in the movie as well.

Luthor has been involved with the Suicide Squad while in the comics, but not as a member. When he was President he formed a version of the team lead by Manchester Black and Steel.
