Warner Bros. has just a few months away from releasing the DC Comics super-villain team, Suicide Squad. During the making of the Task Force X movie, did Jared Leto (The Joker) see Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn) send twisted "gifts" to Viola Davis (Amanda Waller)?

As we previously mentioned, when the government has a mission too hot for the superheroes to handle, they send in the bad guys to take care of the business. In a plot reminiscent of The Dirty Dozen, if the Suicide Squad - which includes the captured band of super-villains Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and Captain Boomerang - survives their deadly mission, their prison sentence will then be reduced.

The lineup also includes Will Smith (Deadshot), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Karen Fukuhara (Katana), Adewale (Killer Croc), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), and Jay Hernandez (Rick Flag) in writer/director David Ayer (End of Watch)'s upcoming comic book movie made up of DC Universe's notorious and deadliest super-villains.

According to E! Online, in order to prepare for the role, the Academy Award winner had sent a live rat to Robbie, a set of bullets to Smith. The entire cast received a dead pig, used condoms, and anal beads. It turns out there was someone not on the gift list.

During CinemaCon, Leto explains why this was all part of his method acting, "I did a lot of things to create a dynamic to create an element of surprise, a spontaneity and to really break down any kind of walls that may be there. The Joker is somebody who doesn't really respect things like personal space or boundaries."

In an interview with E!, during the Custody premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, the How To Get Away With Murder actress explains how she would have reacted if she received one of those gifts, "I did not receive any personally or else I would have got my husband who was called the headache ball back in the day when he played football. I would have said, 'Take care of The Joker."

In the DC Universe, the clown prince of crime is afraid of Amanda Waller, the government agent in charge of Task Force X. The Joker (Leto) knows not to mess with The Wall (Davis).
