Oscar-winning rapper Suicide Squad."

The Hollywood Reporter writes that the "David Ayer's supervillain team-up flick. There's been no word yet on just what role he'll be playing; studio Warner Bros. declined to comment on THR's report.

Production on "Suicide" is already underway in Toronto, so perhaps Common's role is just a small one. Either way, his involvement brings even more star power to the already-stacked ensemble, which features a host of big names, including Adam Beach, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Karen Fukuhara.

According to THR, whispers of Ben Affleck's Batman.

Stay tuned to see if either rumor comes to fruition. "Suicide Squad" is due in theaters on August 5, 2016.
