Rappers-turned-actors Will Smith and Common are officially on the roster to star in Warner Bros' upcoming supervillain movie, "Suicide Squad."

"Suicide Squad" - which is currently being filmed in Toronto, Canada - will tell the story of "a secret government agency run by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis)," says IMBD. "Named A.R.G.U.S [the agency] creates a task force comprised of super villains. They call it: the Suicide Squad because sometimes...they don't come BACK. They are assigned to execute dangerous tasks in exchange for shorter prison sentences."

As of late, Will Smith has confirmed to be taking on the role of assassin Deadshot in the DC Universe, while Oscar-winner Common's role has yet to be revealed. The "all-star action movie" will be the "Finding Forever" rapper's first. "Suicide Squad" is set to release in next summer.
