In an interview with Deadline,Viola Davis spoke about her role as the militant bad ass, Amanda Waller on Suicide Squad and how impressive she truly thinks it is due to it’s director, David Ayer, saying, “I’m blown away by the movie. Once I saw the trailer, I was like, ‘Oh, my God. he really is a magician.’ I mean, I had no idea. So, it’s been a real pleasure working on it with David Ayer.”
She also gave some clues as to what we can expect from the film and it’s darker tone, saying, DC Comics have a tendency to have darker characters. You know, Batman is a darker character, Harley Quinn, the Joker, and what David Ayer has managed to do is humanize them.” She then goes on to say, “I think that you see it in the trailer too–just something different about it that makes you lean in. What he’s explored is the pathology behind all of these characters, so you just get that extra spin that gives you the flavor and a look which is very different.”
Not that any of us really have our doubts after seeing that trailer! Sure, Jared Leto’s Joker is a bit… unexpected and a total deviation, but we’ve got to see the film before we can judge it too harshly. It’s just good to hear an actress of Viola Davis’s talent and calibre impressed by the film.
