Suicide Squad cast member Ike Barinholtz teases a healthy dose of humor.
NewsWhile most of the characters in Suicide Squad are already well known, one whose isn't is that of The Mindy Project's Ike Barinholtz. He's playing a thus-far unnamed character in the movie, and chatting to Zap2It, he said, "I can tell you my character in that movie is someone you would not want at your house for dinner. He’s a very troubled human being."
As for the film itself, Barinholtz noted that the rather grim first trailer isn't necessarily indicative of what's to come. "The trailer is very serious", he conceded, "But (writer/director) David Ayer is a psychopath! And as much as he loves the dark and exploring the disturbed side of society, it’s not like you’re telling jokes, but if you can just kind of in the moment try to play things a little honestly and react to these giant, huge superhero things that are happening, funny stuff can kind of happen and there can be laughs from it."
Barinholtz added, "Will Smith is a very funny guy, Jai Courtney is actually a very funny guy, Margot Robbie is actually funny, so I think there is going to be some moments in that that actually make people laugh."
Writer/director David Ayer continues production on Suicide Squad for a few more week, before heading into post-production. The film is the second DC-based movie set for 2016, following Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, and arrives August 5.
