Margot Robbie will return for 'The Suicide Squad'
Warner Bros. Pictures via CNN(CNN) - Director James Gunn has revealed the full list of super villains and anti-heroes cast in his upcoming "The Suicide Squad" movie.

Jared Leto, who played the Joker on the 2016 film "Suicide Squad," is off the director's lineup as well as Will Smith who portrayed the deadly accurate assassin Deadshot.

The studio behind "The Suicide Squad," Warner Bros., is, like CNN, a unit of WarnerMedia.
Sean Gunn helped launch Rocket Raccoon, now he's flying high
As the man who provided the physical performance for Rocket Raccoon in four Marvel Studios movies, he's not wrong. It's not like Gunn, the younger brother of "Guardians of the Galaxy" writer-director James Gunn, has been lacking in on screen face time outside of his furry alter ego. He's amassed dozens of film and TV credits over a twenty-plus year career, most notably as local oddball Kirk Gleason on "Gilmore Girls," and, in a second Marvel role, the space mercenary Kraglin in both "Guardians" films. He's especially gratified that he'll be re-teaming with his brother for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. "So I have very high hopes that it's going to be an excellent movie -- but that's all I can say for now!"
