Facts
• You might remember the scene when the helicopter crashes. It was the last to be shot so the filming won’t get delayed, just in case any of the cast members got injured. |
• Did you know that Jared Leto got so absorbed in portraying The Joker that he wouldn’t break out of role on set even when he wasn’t filming? |
•Initially, Ryan Gosling was considered for the role of The Joker. According to sources, he dropped the gig as he did not want to sign on for a multi-picture contract that the studio was necessitating. |
• Margot did the majority of her own stunts. |
• The Killer Croc/Waylon Jones has only eight lines of dialogue in the movie. In total sixty-four words. |
• To honor the film, majority of the cast and crew got the tattoo “SKWAD”. The tattoos were even inked by some of the cast members including Margot Robbie and Will Smith. |
• (Harley Quinn) and Jared Leto (Joker) did not rehearse prior to filming their scenes. According to Robbie and director it added to the unpredictability and madness in the scenes. |
⇒ I’m obsessed with the character of Harley Quinn. The film is really good and although I am a Marvel fan, I deeply loved this film and would recommend, if you haven’t watched it.
