A-List actors

As this writer has mentioned in this article, Viola Davis is always breathtaking in everything she’s in. We could easily do a quick Google search and see her multiple accolades (which include an Academy Award, an Emmy, and a Tony Award), but that’s not needed. Her performances speak for themselves.

Now, let’s take Idris Elba and Margot Robbie. Elba has been on multiple classic shows like The Wire and Luthor. Margot Robbie may not have been around as long as the previous two actors, but she’s shown that she belongs among the elite. Her previous roles have shown that she can do drama. action, and comedy. Let’s add that she’s only been acting since 2008; she has a lot more greatness ahead of her.

These three alone should be enough to get people to see The Suicide Squad. Viola Davis was one of the few bright spots in the first Suicide Squad. She brought Amanda Waller to life in ways only she could. Idris Elba has been in multiple action flicks and shown that he’s more than capable of being among the best. He was easily the best part of Hobbs and Shaw. And Margot Robbie has been so good at Harley Quinn that it’ll take a lot to see anyone else play her. That’s a statement reserved for the likes Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool.
