After teaming up together on CW's Arrow, Warner Bros. keeps adding big names to build the super-villain team, Task Force X. With talks and negotiations reportedly in place, for actress Margot Robbie and Jared Leto as the psychotic lovers, Harley Quinn and The Joker, will Jai Courtney join the Suicide Squad movie as another Batman super villain, Deadshot?

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, Captain Boomerang - survives their deadly mission, their prison sentence will then be reduced. In the mythology, the team is run by government agent, Amanda Waller, who has earned the nickname "The Wall" by her associates.

According to Variety, the A Good Day To Die Hard action star is in talks to play a major role as one of the super villains. The Wolf of Wall Street actress and the Requiem For A Dream actor are also in various stages of discussions, as possiblly the prince of crime and his insane girlfriend. David Ayer (End of Watch) has signed on to write and direct the action/heist super villain flick.

Check out Courtney in a clip from A Good Day To Die Hard here:

In the comics, Deadshot is a hired assassin who never misses because of his cybernetic eye. Just like it was mentioned on Arrow, Floyd Lawton has a daughter named Zoe. Deadshot played a pivotal role in the recent Forever Evil storyline when the Justice League was believed to be dead.

We also previously reported, model Cara Delevingne may have been in talks after she posted up an Instagram picture of herself drawn as The Joker's former love interest. Much like the costume seen in The Batman: Animated Series, the socialite is seen biting down on a lollipop shaped like the clown prince of crime's face. Does this mean the English supermodel is out of the running?

The Suicide Squad feature film is scheduled to open in 2016. Readers, would you like to see Jai Courtney as the Batman baddie?
