Comic Book Resources spoke with Viola Davis at the GLAAD Media Awards on the red carpet.  With filming of Suicide Squad imminent, they asked her what drew her to the part.  Davis’ response was simple: “She’s Amanda Waller.”  She then elaborated with “She’s badass!“ She explained that she can relate to Waller because “She’s unapologetic.  Everything that I’m reading about her and studying about her: unapologetic, no humor, just brutal. That’s me.“ She then said that a bonus to playing The Wall.  “Listen, she gets to use a gun.”  With a laugh, she explained, “It’s my fantasy. Now, I would never do that in life, but when I get a…

A couple of interesting Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice interview tidbits have gone online. First up, Jeremy Irons – who plays Alfred Pennyworth – briefly comments on the DC superhero epic while speaking with La Nazione (translation via ComicBook.com) at the Lucca Film Festival.

Over the past couple of weeks, Latino-Review’s El Mayimbe has been sharing interesting details about the Suicide Squad movie, which is set to begin production next month.
