In February 2009, Warner Bros. was developing a Suicide Squad film, with Dan Lin, Colin Wilson, Charles Roven producing,[14][15] and Justin Marks writing the script.[16] David Ayer signed on to direct and write the film in September 2014.[17][18] On October 20, 2014, director Ayer talked to Empire Online about the film, and he said "that it's a Dirty Dozen with supervillains" as he based the screenplay on various Suicide Squad comics and material for the screenplay. Citing a reason that "The DC universe is too rich to go very far astray."[19][20] On March 28, 2015, Ayer teased that the film would also feature Arkham Asylum, which is a home of the several Suicide Squad members.[21]

On October 15, 2014, Warner Bros. offered Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, Margot Robbie and Will Smith roles in the film.[22] On October 16, Deadline reported that Hardy and Smith were close to signing on while Robbie was also finalizing a deal as she left the DreamWorks' Ghost in the Shell for this film.[15] On November 7, TheWrap revealed that Jared Leto was in talks for the role of The Joker, which Ryan Gosling was once sought for.[23] On November 9, it was announced that Robbie was confirmed for the role of Joker's on again off again girlfriend Harley Quinn.[24] Hardy was in talks for Rick Flag, a founding member of the Suicide Squad, and Smith's role was unclear but according to sources it could be Flash villain George "Digger" Harkness / Captain Boomerang.[25] On December 2, 2014, it was confirmed by Warner Bros. Pictures that Smith, Hardy, Leto, Robbie, Courtney and Cara Delevingne had all signed on to star in the film as Deadshot, Rick Flag, Harley Quinn, The Joker, Captain Boomerang and Enchantress, respectively.[2] Eisenberg was still in talks for the role, while studio was also seeking a middle-aged African American actress to play Amanda Waller, for which Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Oprah Winfrey were being eyed.[26] Right after the announcement of the cast, comic book writer John Ostrander (creator of the modern incarnation of the Suicide Squad) talked with Comic Book Resources about the casting saying "I have no problem with the casting….What I am really impressed by with all of the casting is that they are getting some very good actors to play these parts."[27]

Later in early January 2015, Davis expressed interest in playing the role during an interview, saying "I'm fascinated by her (Waller)."[28] Jake Gyllenhaal was then being eyed to replace Hardy as Rick Flag, but he declined.[29] The studio were then looking at either Joel Edgerton, Jon Bernthal or Joel Kinnaman to replace Hardy as Flag.[30][31][32] On February 18, The Wrap confirmed that Jay Hernandez was added to the cast for an unspecified role and Kinnaman was also confirmed to play Flag.[3] Talking to Billboard in February 2015, Leto called 'The Joker' a "Shakespearean character."[33] At the 87th Academy Awards' red carpet, Davis confirmed her casting to CTV etalk's Ben Mulroney of playing the role of Amanda Waller.[4] The director described Leto's Joker as "Majestic" on Twitter on February 28, 2015.[34] Boxer Raymond Olubawale was confirmed by the Toronto Sun on March 26, 2015 for an unspecified role.[35] Scott Eastwood confirmed on Twitter about his involvement in the film on March 29, 2015.[10] On March 31, 2015, it was confirmed that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje will portray Killer Croc and Karen Fukuhara had been cast as Katana.[5] Three more cast members were revealed on April 8, 2015, which included Adam Beach, Ike Barinholtz and Jim Parrack.[36]
